I said: How can they be telling the truth and lying? He said: He did go between as-Safa and al-Marwah on a camel, but that is not Sunnah.

Then she went to Waraqah bin Nawfal and told him about that. He said: If he is telling the truth, this is an angel (namoos) like the angel of Moosa. If he is sent [as a Prophet] when I am still alive, I will support him and help him, and I will believe in him.

I said: There was a man with him, speaking to him. – ‘Affan said: He said: Was there someone with him? I said: Yes. – So he went back to him and said: O Messenger of Allah, was there someone with you? For ‘Abdullah told me that there was a man with you and you were speaking to him.

Then Khadeejah said to her father: Muhammad bin ‘Abdullah wants to marry me; give me in marriage to him. So he gave her in marriage to him. She put some perfume on him (her father) and dressed him in a hullah suit, because that is what they used to do for fathers. When he recovered from his intoxication, he looked and found himself wearing perfume and a hullah suit. He said: What happened to me? What is this? She said: You gave me in marriage to Muhammad bin ‘Abdullah. He said: I gave you in marriage to the orphan of Abu Talib?! No, never!
