Abu Talib went to Khadija and asked, “Would you hire Muhammad?”
Khadija answered, “ If you asked me to hire a stranger, I would have done it for you. How can I refuse such a decent honest man as Muhammad.” Then she sent for Muhammad. When he came she said to him, “I have decided to hire you because I have heard about your truthfulness, your honesty and your decent manners. I am offering you twice what I would offer another man.”
Muhammad accepted the offer to trade for her. Later he met his uncle Abu Talib and told him about Khadija’s offer. Abu Talib said, “That is something Allah sent to you.”
Muhammad prepared to leave with Khadija’s caravan. Her servant Maysara was going with him. Muhammad’s uncles came to say goodbye to him. They asked the other merchants to take care of him and help him. This was the first time Muhammad had gone trading without his uncles. The caravan traveled for days and nights. Muhammad and Maysara chatted together. Maysara enjoyed hearing Muhammad. He liked his good manners and the longer they stayed together, the more Maysara admired Muhammad.
