THE BLESSED MARRIAGE
Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) kept reflecting on what she had heard of her salve about Muhammad. She went to the Kaabah and circumambulated it. She, then, sat for a while thinking of that issue. On coming back to her home, Khadijah retired to her bed. She saw a wonderful vision. She saw that the sun descended down upon her house and filled the house with light. The light spread from the house until it filled the whole earth. She woke up wondering, “The sun descends down upon my house and its light spreads all over the world from here; what does this mean!”
After sunrise, Khadijah went to her cousin, Waraqah ibn Nawfal, to ask him about the interpretation of her vision. Having known her vision, Waraqah said, “O cousin! Be delighted at the anticipated good affair. If Allah renders your vision true, the light of prophethood will enter your house. “
Khadijah remained looking forward to the fulfillment of her good vision. One day, Khadijah went to the Holy Site to participate in a festival where women used to gather there. Having circumambulated the Köbah, Khadijah sat amongst the women to engage in a conversation. Meanwhile, a man said, “O women of Quraysh! A Prophet is about to rise amongst you. Whoever could marry him, should do so.” On their part, the women stoned and reproached him. Khadijah, in contrast, listened attentively to his speech and did not indulge in what other women had done. The man’s words had a great influence on her heart and made her recall her vision. Now, Khadijah became sure that Muhammad is the seal of the Prophets and aspired to be his wife; but how could she attain this?
Khadijah informed her cousin, Waraqah ibn Nawfal, what she heard of her slave-boy in addition to what she saw in the vision. Thereupon, he said, “O Holy One, O Holy One! Makkah is about to witness the great miracle.” Khadijah, then, expressed her wish to marry that man, Prophet Muhammad, and Waraqah agreed with her. Khadijah sent her friend, Nafisah bint Munabbih, to mention her to Muhammad (peace be upon him). No sooner did Nafisah leave Khadijah than she went to Muhammad (peace be upon him). She intuitively asked him, “Why did you not marry, Muhammad?” He answered, “I cannot afford marriage. ” She smiled and said, “If there is a woman who is pretty, wealthy, and honorable, would you agree?” He asked, “Who is she?” She said instantly, “Khadijah bint Khuwaylid.” He disclosed, “But, how could I attain this?” She replied, “Leave this for me.” He replied, “I would agree if she did. “
Nafisah swiftly went to Khadijah to tell her of the good news. Muhammad (peace be upon him), moreover, told his uncles about his wish to marry Khadijah. Then, the Prophet went with his uncles, Hamzah and Abu Talib, to Khadijah’s uncle,
