ACTS OF APOSTLE

chapter 15

*Buhaira Conversation*

But soon Buhaira felt that there was something less than the Quraysh. So he repeated his request again,

"O people of Quraysh, let no one not eat my food."

One of the Quraysh said,

"Hi Buhaira, there is no one left who deserves to come to you, except the smallest young man among us. It's in the company's supply."

Buhaira shakes her head,

"You guys don't be like that. Call him to eat with you!."

The Quraysh were ashamed. One of them even said,

"For the sake of Lata and Uzza, it is our disgrace that Abdullah's son Abdul Muttalib did not eat with us."

After Muhammad was called, Buhaira embraced him and sat him down with the rest of the Quraysh. While watching his guests eat, in fact Buhaira's eyes were fixed on Muhammad carefully. From his observations, Buhaira concluded, "This child has prophetic qualities."

Banquet finished. While thanking him, the Quraysh disbanded to their camp to rest.

However, Buhaira did not let Muhammad go. He asked the boy to sit down and talk.

"Hi young man," call Buhaira,

"by mentioning the names of Lata and Uzza, I will ask you questions and you will have to answer them."

Muhammad's face seemed to change and he replied,

"Don't ask me about anything while mentioning Lata and Uzza's names. By Allah, there is nothing I hate but both."

Buhaira smiled and repeated her request, "Alright, then I will ask you by saying the name of Allah and you will have to answer my question."

Muhammad's face turned bright and he nodded,

"Ask me whatever you want to ask."

اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّد

*Saran Buhaira to Abu Talib*

Muhammad answered all of that and all of those answers were correct to Buhaira's estimation. Then, Buhaira looked at Muhammad's back and found a prophetic mark between Muhammad's shoulders. The prophetic sign is like a former man.

Afterwards, Buhaira approached Abu Talib and asked him, Is this young man your son? ''

''Yes, he is my son." Answer Abu Talib

Buhaira.

"No, he's not your son. This young man doesn't deserve to have a living father"

Abu Talib was a bit dumbfounded, then he nodded.

"You're right. He's not my son, he's my brother's son"

Buhaira nodded in satisfaction then asked again.

"What did his father do?"

"His father had died while he was still in his mother's womb "

"You're right" said Buhaira sighing deeply. Then, while whispering, he made a suggestion in earnest.

"Now, listen to my advice. Take your nephew to your home country now! Keep him from the Jews! By Allah, if they look at him as I see him, they will surely kill him. In fact, something big will happen to your brother's son. Therefore, immediately bring her back to your home country!"

Abu Talib looked frightened by the warning. He was convinced that what Buhaira said was true. As soon as his trade was over, Abu Talib brought Muhammad home. No matter how difficult the burden of his life was, Abu Talib never again went to trade far away to protect his nephew.

*Bushra* (city where Buhaira lives)

The route through which the Abu Talib caravan traveled was the Western caravan road that ran through the Red Sea, Madyan, Wadi Al Qurra, Hijir, and Bushra City.

The city of Bushra or Bostra had long been established by the Romans as the capital of the Hauran region, to withstand the invasion of the interior Bedouins.

In this city, the Romans concentrated troops and collected taxes from the caravans.

For the caravan itself, Bostra was the most bustling trade center before arriving in Syria located further north.
