cleansed it." One of the angels said to the other, "Weigh him with ten people of his nation," but I
outweighed them. So he said, "Weigh him with one hundred of his nation," but I still outweighed them. Then he said, "Weigh him with one thousand of his nation," but once again I outweighed them. Whereupon the angel said, "If you were to weigh him with his entire nation he would still outweigh them all!" He told his Companions that the two men were angels and that each son of Adam, except Mary and her son is touched by satan at birth.
Fearing for his safety, it was decided to return the young Muhammad to Lady Aminah, so once again Halima set off with Muhammad to Mecca.
Halima’s Decision
Halima decided not to tell Lady Aminah the real reason for his early return but Lady Aminah was quick to realize she was concealing something. At last Lady Aminah persuaded Halima to tell her the real reason for her son's return.
