Halima and her husband were worried and questioned their sons repeatedly, but
none changed their story, which convinced them that the boys were speaking the
truth. Halima and her husband were greatly distressed about the affair and
feared evil spirits were trying to harm their beloved foster son. So, fearing for his
safety, it was decided to return him to Lady Amina, whereupon Halima made
arrangements for the journey to Mecca, however she decided not to tell his
mother what had happened.

Lady Amina realized there must be an underlying reason for his return and at last
persuaded Halima to tell her the real reason. After Halima had finished telling her
she told of the fear she had for his safety whereupon Lady Amina comforted her.
She told her that she was sure no evil would ever come to him as she had been
told during her pregnancy that he was destined for important role, she also told
her of the many miraculous things that had happened to her before he was born.
Halima's heart was now at peace and so they returned once again to their desert
home where he continued to live until he was five years old.
