Lady Khadijah radi Allahu anha—who is Lady Khadijah? When people were disbelieving in Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, at that time Lady Khadijah believed in him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. When the arrogant were holding back from him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, then Lady Khadijah affirmed him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. When people were being miserly towards him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, at that time Lady Khadijah showed generosity to him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. When estrangement surrounded him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, at that time Lady Khadijah showed intimacy to him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. When he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was distressed at the first coming of our master Jibril alayhis-salam, at that time Lady Khadijah comforted him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam by mentioning his noble qualities and took him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to Waraqah bin Nawfal.
