*This ruin used to be the monastery of the Nestorian monk Bahira, who
spotted the signs of Prophethood on the young Muhammad (peace and
blessings of Allah be on him) while the Prophet was on a trade caravan
on the way to Syria.
*When Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) was about 12
years old, he accompanied his uncle Abu Talib on a trade journey to
Syria. In a place called Busra a very interesting incident took place,
which caused Abu Talib to return Muhammad to Makkah.
*On their trade journey they met a monk by the name of Bahira, who
lived a simple life in a monastery. He had very simple provisions and
lived a harsh life, surviving on the bare essentials. His diet was
very simple and the clothes he wore were also coarse and well worn. He
was looking outside and saw a caravan approaching. His residence was
on the main caravan route and he regularly saw caravans passing by,
carrying different goods destined to be sold in the great markets of
Syria.
*He noticed that this caravan was different; there was something
special about it. He decided to invite the people to a meal and find
out more. Bahira sent a message to the caravan that his hospitality
was extended to all the members of the caravan. The caravan traders
accepted the invitation and arrived at the monk's place.
*When they arrived, Bahira searched their faces looking for something.
He said that he had offered his hospitality to everyone, was there
anyone left behind? They said that they had left a young boy called
Muhammad to look after the camels. Bahira insisted that they send
someone to get Muhammad and bring him to the entertainment. When
Bahira saw the face of Muhammad he was delighted for he was aware from
the scriptures of the arrival of a mighty prophet and he could see the
signs on the young boy.
*After the food, Bahira approached Abu Talib saying that Muhammad
would be a great prophet one day. He said that when he had seen the
caravan in the distance there was a cloud hanging over them, which was
shading them from the great heat of the desert. When the caravan had
stopped under a tree the cloud had also stopped above them.
*Bahira said that he had seen the stones and the trees prostrating to
Muhammad as he had been walking by. They only do this for a prophet of
Allah. He looked at the Muhammad's back and noticed the seal of the
prophets, which was an oval shape protruding just below Muhammad's
shoulder blades. He said that this was one of the signs of a great
prophet to come that was taught to them in their books.
*Bahira said "This is the master of all humans, Allah will send him
with a message which would be a mercy to all humans". Bahira advised
that Muhammad should be taken back to Makkah at once, if the Jews
found out about Muhammad they would try to kill him. Abu Talib took
the advice of this wise old monk and sent Muhammad back with some of
the guides.*
