Quick fact: Hazrat Muhammad SAW was accompanied by Maisra on the business trip to Syria for Hazrat Khadija.

Explanation

Hazrat Khadija (R.A), a wealthy and respected businesswoman of Makkah, hired Hazrat Muhammad SAW to lead her trade caravan to Syria due to His reputation for honesty and trustworthiness. She sent her slave servant Maisra along to assist and observe. During the journey, Maisra witnessed remarkable signs of the Prophet's noble character and reported them to Khadija upon return, which became one of the key reasons she proposed marriage to Him.

Good to know

This business trip took place before the Prophethood when Hazrat Muhammad SAW was around 25 years old. Hazrat Khadija was so impressed by the honesty and integrity shown during this trip, along with Maisra's glowing account, that she sent a marriage proposal through her friend Nafisa. This trade journey to Syria thus became a pivotal event leading to the blessed marriage of the Prophet (PBUH) with Khadija (R.A).
