Al-Rezvanخَدِيجَةُ بِنْتُ خُوَيْلِد (ع)
Umm al-Mu'minin (Mother of the Believers), Al-Kubra (The Great)
Khadijah was a highly successful and wealthy merchant in Makkah, known as "Al-Tahira" (The Pure One) for her noble character. Recognizing Muhammad's truthfulness and honesty, she hired him to manage her trade caravan and subsequently proposed marriage.
When the Prophet received the first revelation in Cave Hira, he returned home shaking with fear. Khadijah comforted him, saying, "Allah will never disgrace you, for you keep good relations with family and help the poor." She took him to her cousin Waraqah ibn Nawfal, a Christian scholar, who confirmed his prophethood.
Khadijah spent all her massive wealth to feed, clothe, and protect the early Muslims during the three-year Makkan boycott in the Valley of Abu Talib. She passed away shortly after the boycott ended, and the Prophet declared the year of her death "The Year of Sorrow" (Aam al-Huzn).
