ENGLISH- THE SEALED NECTAR – MEMORIES OF THE PROPHET (PBUH)-AUTHOR- ISSAM DIAB
The party continued its journey until it reached to solitary tents belonging to a woman
called Umm Ma‘bad Al-Khuza‘iyah. She was a gracious lady who sat at her tent-door
with a mat spread out for any chance traveller that might pass by the way. Fatigued
and thirsty, the Prophet [pbuh] and his companions wanted to refresh themselves
with food and some milk. The lady told them that the flock was out in the pasture and
the goat standing nearby was almost dry. It was a rainless year. The Prophet [pbuh],
with her permission, touched its udders, reciting over them the Name of Allâh, and to
their great joy, there flowed plenty of milk out of them. The Prophet [pbuh] first

offered that to the lady of the house, and he shared what was left with the members
of the party. Before he left, he milked the goat, filled the container and gave it to
Umm Ma‘bad. Later on, her husband arrived with slender goats hardly having any
milk in their udders. He was astonished to see milk in the house. His wife told him that
a blessed man passed by the way, and then she gave details about his physical
appearance and manner of talk. Here Abu Ma‘bad realized on the spot that the
man was the one whom Quraish were searching for and asked her to give full
description of him. She gave a wonderful account of his physique and manners, to
which we will go in detail later in the process of talking about his attributes and merits.
Abu Ma‘bad, after listening to his wife’s account, expressed a sincere wish to
accompany the Prophet [pbuh] whenever that was possible, and reiterated his
admiration in verses of poetry that echoed all over Makkah to such an extent
that the people therein thought it was a jinn inculcating words in their ears
