The situation continued to worsen and so in desperation several of the Koraysh
went to Abu Talib and asked him to pray for rain. Muhammad was with him and
heard their request so together, with Abu Talib carrying him on his shoulders,
they made their way to the Ka'ba to supplicate to Allah for rain.
As they entered the precincts of Ka'ba the sky was blue and the heat of the sun
beat down just as it had done for so many weeks. Muhammad held on tightly to
his uncle's fingers and together they supplicate for rain. Within moments, clouds
gathered from all directions and rain started to fall -- the drought was over, Allah
had heard and accepted their supplications. Like Halima, Abu Talib was quick to
recognize the multiple blessings he and others shared on account of his nephew.
It was time for the annual trip to Syria. Even though Hashim, their famous
ancestor, had secured alliances with tribes along the caravan route many years
before, the journey was arduous and not without danger. With this in mind Abu
Talib decided to leave his nephew behind thinking it was better for him to remain
with Fatima and his other children.
