When Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) turned twenty-five, every home began to speak of his trustworthiness, and when there was not a single person in Makkah Mukarramah who did not refer to him by the title ‘Al-Ameen’ (the trustworthy one), Hazrat Khadijah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) sent him a message saying, “If you take my wealth of trade to Syria, I will give you double the amount that other business partners are receiving.”

Due to the financial constraints of his uncle, Abu Taalib, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) accepted the offer and departed for Syria in the company of Hazrat Khadijah’s (radhiyallahu ‘anha) slave, Maysarah.
