Apparently people of [[Mecca]] would send their children to [[Bedouin]] tribes so that they will be more eloquent. | |||
Bani Sa'd suffered from a severe famine, so Halima and nine other women of the tribe headed to Mecca to make a living by wet-nursing children of wealthy tribes of Mecca. Due to poverty and famine her camel was very weak and skinny so she was left behind and consequently arrived late to Mecca. When she arrived the grandson of [[‘Abd al-Mutallib]] was the only child left, because he was an orphan and they were afraid not to receive an appropriate fee. | Bani Sa'd suffered from a severe famine, so Halima and nine other women of the tribe headed to Mecca to make a living by wet-nursing children of wealthy tribes of Mecca.

Immediately after she accepted wet-nursing of the Prophet (s) blessings showed up in her life. Her milk that was barely enough for her own child, due to poverty, now was easily fed the Prophet (s) and his son. Even her emaciated camel overflowed with milk and got so strong that she overtook other women on the way back. While other wet-nurses were wondering about the reason of these sudden changes in her life, Halima believed that they were because of the child of [[Bani Hashim]], and she repeated that several times. | Immediately after she accepted wet-nursing of the Prophet (s) blessings showed up in her life.

Since the child Muhammad caused Halima's herd of sheep to be more productive than any other's in Bani Sa'd, she preferred to keep the child with her. Eventually, at her insistence and also because of the outbreak of cholera in Mecca; Amina was convinced to let Halima take care of her baby again for a few more years. | ||

Man-like angels dressed in white appeared, split his chest, took a dark clot out of his heart, washed it in a gold tub, put it back in his chest and then healed his chest. His [[foster brother]], who witnessed this in a valley near their house, informed Halima frantically. | ||
Halima got very nervous and took him to a soothsayer. After listening to the child, the soothsayer warned her that he will change people's religion. Halima got more nervous and decided to return him to his mother in Mecca to protect him. | Halima got very nervous and took him to a soothsayer.

A few years after Muhammad (s) married [[Khadija]] (s), Halima went to him in Mecca complaining about the difficulties of life. The Prophet (s) talked with Khadija about her and Khadija gave her some sheep and camels. After emergence of [[Islam]], Halima and her husband came to the Prophet (s), converted to Islam and swore allegiance to him. Sometimes, when Halima visited the Prophet (s), he laid his cloak on the ground –as a sign of respect-, so that she would sit on it. | A few years after Muhammad (s) married [[Khadija]] (s), Halima went to him in Mecca complaining about the difficulties of life.
