Once, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was out grazing goats in the jungle with his milk-brothers when one of his milk-brothers came running. He said, “Two men dressed in white clothing laid our Qurayshi brother on the ground and slit open his blessed chest. They are now stitching him.” On hearing this, Hazrat Halimah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) and her husband were shocked and began to run frantically. When they came to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), they saw him standing on one side with his face pale. Hazrat Halimah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) says, “I immediately clasped him to my chest, and his foster-father also hugged him and asked him what happened. He then gave an account of what transpired.” Hazrat Halimah radhiyallahu ‘anha) then returned home with him.
