Khadijah's house around mid-day.

happened to glance out of her window and saw them returning, riding on
their camels. Then to her amazement, as she looked up into the sky she
saw the clouds drifting above Muhammad, shading him from the intense
heat of the sun.
After the camels had been attended, Muhammad went to greet Khadijah
and tell her of the trades he had made; to her surprise she found her
commerce had doubled. Khadijah, true to her word kept her promise and
gave Muhammad his handsome gift. Later, Khadijah spoke to Maysara
about the matter of the clouds and he too confirmed he had seen the same
thing throughout the journey. He also related the bewildering conversation
and witnessing of the hermit monk, Nastura, and told of the many blessings
they encountered upon their journey.
