The Holy Prophet of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa sa sa sa families to carry with them so that they could get more money for services. . However, the Holy Prophet was an orphan. Therefore, most of the women picked children from rich families to carry with them and did not pay attention to the Holy Prophet's" family. Only one woman was left who could not find a child from a rich family for grooming. Her name was. Halimah and she belonged to the tribe of Banu Sa'd. She thought it better to take a child from a poor family than not to take a child at all. So she came to Hadrat Aminah and requested her to give her the child to carry with her for grooming. The Holy Prophet was one month old at that time. Ḥaḍrat Āminah gave the child to Ḥalimah and prayed, "I give my child in the protection of God Almighty from the evil which develops in the mountains till I see him riding a camel, and that he treats others well and helps the poor and slaves. " sa sa Ꮥ . sa (Rahmatullil 'Alamin, Vol. 2, p. 103, Sayyed Salman Mansürpūrī) sa. Halimah was a poor lady and at the time she took the Holy. Prophet in her care there was a drought causing a shortage of food for animals and humans. Due to the lack of food her milk also had dried up and her son, 'Abdullāh was often hungry. However, when carrying the. Holy Prophet upon her return home, she realized that there was an unusual increase in her milk to the extent that both her own son, ‘Abdullah, and the Holy Prophet sucked the milk till they were full and still there was milk. Then she observed that her emaciated donkey suddenly gained such strength that it started to run fast and left all the others behind. Similarly, her goats started to produce much more milk than before. Halimah's daughter, Shīmā loved the Holy Prophet" and used to carry him in her lap most of the time. The Holy Prophet" started to talk in the language of the Banu Sa'd tribe of Hawazin which he learned from sa sa sa. Halimah and Shīmā. The Holy Prophet used to say, "I am the most eloquent Prophet because I belong to a Quraish family and I speak the language of Banu Sa'd. " (Ibn Sa'd's Al-Tabaqat Al-Kabir, Vol. 1, p. 71) 45
