His ﷺ departure to Syria in Khadījah's trade and what happened with Baḥīrā
[ خُرُوجُهُ ﷺ إلَى الشَّامِ فِي تِجَارَةِ خَدِيجَةَ، وَمَا كَانَ مِنْ بَحِيرَى ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَكَانَتْ خَدِيجَةُ بِنْتُ خُوَيْلِدٍ امْرَأَةً تَاجِرَةً ذَاتَ شَرَفٍ وَمَالٍ. تَسْتَأْجِرُ الرِّجَالَ فِي مَالِهَا وَتُضَارِبُهُمْ إيَّاهُ، بِشَيْءٍ تَجْعَلُهُ لَهُمْ، وَكَانَتْ قُرَيْشٌ قَوْمًا تُجَّارًا؛ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَهَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا بَلَغَهَا، مِنْ صَدْقِ حَدِيثِهِ، وَعِظَمِ أَمَانَتِهِ، وَكَرَمِ أَخْلَاقِهِ، بَعَثَتْ إلَيْهِ فَعَرَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ فِي مَالٍ لَهَا إلَى الشَّامِ تَاجِرًا، وَتُعْطِيهِ أَفَضْلَ مَا كَانَتْ تُعْطِي غَيْرَهُ مِنْ التُّجَّارِ، مَعَ غُلَامٍ لَهَا يُقَالُ لَهُ مَيْسَرَةَ، فَقَبِلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْهَا، وَخَرَجَ فِي مَالِهَا ذَلِكَ، وَخَرَجَ مَعَهُ غُلَامُهَا مَيْسَرَةُ حَتَّى قَدِمَ الشَّامَ. فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي ظِلِّ شَجَرَةٍ قَرِيبًا مِنْ صَوْمَعَةِ رَاهِبٍ مِنْ الرُّهْبَانِ، فَاطَّلَعَ الرَّاهِبُ إلَى مَيْسَرَةَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: مَنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي نَزَلَ تَحْتَ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ ؟ قَالَ لَهُ مَيْسَرَةُ: هَذَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْحَرَمِ؛ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّاهِبُ: مَا نَزَلَ تَحْتَ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ قَطُّ إلَّا نَبِيٌّ
Translation
✧ [His ﷺ departure to Syria on Khadījah's trade and what happened with Baḥīrā] Ibn Isḥāq said: Khadījah bt. Khuwaylid was a merchant woman of dignity and wealth. She used to hire men for her property and give it to them as a speculative venture, for a share she assigned to them. Quraysh were a trading people. When she heard about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ what she heard—of his truthful speech, great trustworthiness, and noble character—she sent to him and offered him to go out with property of hers to Syria as a merchant, and that she would give him the best of what she gave other merchants, along with a servant of hers called Maysarah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ accepted it from her and went out with that property of hers, and her servant Maysarah went out with him until he arrived in Syria. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ alighted in the shade of a tree near the cell of a monk from among the monks. The monk looked at Maysarah and said to him: "Who is this man who has alighted under this tree?" Maysarah said to him: "This is a man from Quraysh, from the people of the sanctuary." The monk said to him: "None has alighted under this tree ever but a prophet."
