inquired about Muhammad's parents and was told that Muhammad was an
orphan, and that Abu Talib was not his real father, rather, he was his paternal
uncle.

Now, Buhairah knew for certain that he had been blessed to live long enough to
meet the boy destined to be the last Prophet of Allah. He was overcome with joy
but at the same time a great sense of fear struck deep within his heart. He told
Abu Talib that he must take great care of the young boy and advised him not to
continue to Basra as he feared the descendants of the Jews that had migrated to
Arabia many years before to await the arrival of the last Prophet would also
notice his signs and try to harm him as he was not of their race. Abu Talib took
Buhairah's advice and they returned to Mecca.

Muhammad had grown up into a quiet, thoughtful youth preferring to look after
his uncle's sheep rather than playing with the other children of Mecca. He loved
the peace and tranquility of the valleys with their mountains and whilst tending
his flock he would pass his time observing and marveling at the wonders of the
creation of Allah.
