Khadijah relating the account of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Waraqah
[ خَدِيجَةُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ وَرَقَةَ تُحَدِّثُهُ حَدِيثَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ] ثُمَّ قَامَتْ فَجَمَعَتْ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَابَهَا، ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَتْ إلَى وَرَقَةَ بْنِ نَوْفَلِ بْنِ أَسَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى بْنِ قُصَيٍّ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّهَا، وَكَانَ وَرَقَةُ قَدْ تَنَصَّرَ وَقَرَأَ الْكُتُبَ، وَسَمِعَ مِنْ أَهْلِ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِمَا أَخْبَرَهَا بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى وَسَمِعَ؛ فَقَالَ وَرَقَةُ بْنُ نَوْفَلٍ: قُدُّوسٌ قُدُّوسٌ، وَاَلَّذِي نَفْسُ وَرَقَةَ بِيَدِهِ، لَئِنْ كُنْتِ صَدَّقْتِينِي يَا خَدِيجَةُ لَقَدْ جَاءَهُ النَّامُوسُ الْأَكْبَرُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَأْتِي مُوسَى، وَإِنَّهُ لَنَبِيُّ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ، فَقُولِي لَهُ: فَلْيَثْبُتْ. فَرَجَعَتْ خَدِيجَةُ إلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِقَوْلِ وَرَقَةَ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جِوَارَهُ وَانْصَرَفَ، صَنَعَ كَمَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ بَدَأَ بِالْكَعْبَةِ فَطَافَ بِهَا، فَلَقِيَهُ وَرَقَةُ بْنُ نَوْفَلٍ وَهُوَ يَطُوفُ بِالْكَعْبَةِ فَقَالَ: يَا ابْنَ أَخِي أَخْبِرْنِي بِمَا رَأَيْتَ وَسَمِعْتَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ؛ فَقَالَ لَهُ وَرَقَةُ: وَاَلَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، إنَّكَ لَنَبِيُّ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ، وَلَقَدْ جَاءَكَ النَّامُوسُ الْأَكْبَرُ الَّذِي جَاءَ مُوسَى وَلَتُكَذَّبَنَّهُ وَلَتُؤْذَيَنَّهُ وَلَتُخْرَجَنَّهُ وَلَتُقَاتَلَنَّهُ، وَلَئِنْ أَنَا أَدْرَكْتُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ لَأَنْصُرَنَّ اللَّهَ نَصْرًا يَعْلَمُهُ، ثُمَّ أَدْنَى رَأْسَهُ مِنْهُ، فَقَبَّلَ يَافُوخَهُ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إلَى مَنْزِلِهِ
Translation
✧ [Khadijah before Waraqah, telling him the account of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ] Then she arose, gathered her garments about her, and set off to Waraqah b. Nawfal b. Asad b. ʿAbd al-ʿUzzā b. Quṣayy, who was her paternal cousin. Waraqah had become a Christian, read the scriptures, and heard from the people of the Torah and the Gospel. She informed him of what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had told her, that he had seen and heard. Waraqah b. Nawfal said: "Holy, holy! By Him in whose hand is the soul of Waraqah, if you have spoken truly to me, O Khadījah, there has come to him the greatest Nāmūs who used to come to Moses, and he is indeed the prophet of this community. Tell him to be steadfast." Khadījah returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him what Waraqah b. Nawfal had said. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his retreat and departed, he did as he used to do: he began with the Kaʿbah and circumambulated it. Waraqah b. Nawfal met him while he was circumambulating the Kaʿbah and said: "O son of my brother, tell me what you saw and heard." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed him, and Waraqah said to him: "By Him in whose hand is my soul, you are indeed the prophet of this community, and the greatest Nāmūs who came to Moses has come to you. You will surely be denied, harmed, expelled, and fought. If I live to see that day, I will surely help Allah with a help He knows." Then he brought his head close to him and kissed his crown. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ departed to his dwelling.
