When the caravan reached his village Buhairah went out to meet it and invited them to a meal. As soon as he saw the young twelve-year old boy Muhammad, he questioned him saying, “O young man, by al-Laat and al-Uzza, I want to ask you some questions. The Messenger of Allah replied: "Do not ask me by al-Laat and al-Uzza. By Allah, there is nothing more hateful to me than them.”
Then the Prophet said to the monk: "Ask me whatever you like." Whereupon Buhairah questioned him about various matters, even his sleep and each of the replies of the Messenger of Allah compiled with the Scripture that he had spent his life studying. Buhairah took hold of the young Muhammad’s hand and declared, "This is the master of the worlds. Allah will send him as a mercy to the worlds."
The Korayshi merchants were astounded. Buhairah told them that as they traveled toward the village he had seen a cloud floating above the caravan, following it, and when the caravan changed
direction, the cloud also changed direction casting its protecting shadow over it. Buhairah also

Buhairah knew for certain his dearest wish had been fulfilled and that he had been blessed to live

further because they would pass through a Jewish settlement and the Jews would be sure to
recognize the signs and attempt to kill him, as they killed many prophets before, and so Abu Talib and the young boy returned to Mecca.
Early Character of Prophet Muhammad
Muhammad had grown 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 and mountainside. While tending his uncle’s flock he would pass his time observing and marveling at the wonders of the creation of Allah.
Like all boys of the Koraysh tribe he was taught the art of manhood and how best to defend himself. Muhammad had very keen eyesight and so it wasn't surprising that he became an excellent archer like his ancestor Prophet Ishmael.
All who knew him recognized his reputation for being honest, trustworthy and among other fine qualities, his intelligence. He always went out of his way to oblige his companions. He was the most kindhearted of people, chaste and hospitable. When he made a promise, he always
