Apparently, people of [[Mecca]] would send their children to Bedouin tribes so that they would be more eloquent. Banu 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-Muttalib]] was the only child left because he was an orphan, and they were afraid not to receive an appropriate fee.<ref>Ibn Isḥāq, ''Sīra'', 1401/1981, p. 26.

Her milk that was barely enough for her child due to poverty was easily fed the Muhammad (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 for these sudden changes in her life, Halima believed that they were because of the child of [[Banu Hashim]], and she repeated that several times.<ref>Ibn Hishām, ''al-Sīra al-Nabawīyya'', Muṣṭafā al-Saqqā, vol. 1, p. 172-173.

A few years after [[Muhammad (s)]] married [[Khadija (a)]], 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.
