THE PROPOSAL
💍Marriage to Khadeejah Khadeejah was twice-widowed, having been married to Ateeq bin Ayed and then to Abu Hala. While married to Abu Hala, she bore a son. Following her second husband’s death, she received several proposals from various chiefs of the Quraysh, all of which she refused❎. Now, however, impressed by Maysarah’s description of Muhammad’s character, she broached the topic of marriage to Muhammad through her friend, Nafeesah.
Being open to the idea, he consulted his uncles, who sent the proposal to Amr bin Asad, Khadeejah’s uncle. Amr accepted on his niece’s behalf, and Muhammad gave twenty camels as dowry (some sources mention that he gave her six camels). They were married in the presence of the Banu Hashim and the chiefs of the Quraysh.
Praising and glorifying Allah, Abu Talib recited the wedding sermon and formalised the union💐. Thus within two months and some days within Muhammad’s return from Syria, he and Khadeejah were married. He was twenty-five and she was either twenty-eight or forty.
Khadeejah was Muhammad’s first wife. He married none other during her lifetime. She bore all his children except for Ibraheem, who was born to Maria Qibtiya (Mary the Copt). They were named (in order of birth) Qasim, Zaynab, Ruqayyah, Umm Kulthoom, Fatimah, Abdullah and Ibraheem .
All the sons of their father passed away during childhood🥀, but all the daughters lived to see their father become a prophet. Each daughter embraced Islam and migrated to Madinah, and all but Fatimah died during the lifetime of the Prophet . Fatimah died six months after her father’s death.
Dispute over the Black Stone🔎
When Muhammad was thirty-five years old, a devastating flood damaged the Ka’bah🕋. The walls of the Ka’bah had been weakened by a fire earlier, and the flood caused additional cracks to form. The structure revered by the Quraysh was in danger of collapse. Seeing their house of worship under threat of ruin, the Quraysh decided to rebuild the Ka’bah. They resolved not to taint the project with resources gained through usury, prostitution, or larceny.
🕋As the walls of the Ka’bah had to be torn down before they could be rebuilt, the Quraysh feared Allah would punish anyone who raised his hand against the Sacred House. Waleed bin Mugheera was the first to approach the Ka’bah. Declaring, “Allah will not destroy reformers,” he began to dismantle the walls of the Ka’bah. When others saw that he had done so untouched by divine wrath, they joined in the work. They demolished the Ka’bah down to the original foundation laid by Ibraheem (Abraham).
Then the construction started with each tribe being allocated specific duties. The nobles among them carried pieces of stone and piled them up in one place. Muhammad and his uncle Abbas were among those carrying stones. 🛡️
A Roman mason named Baqoom reconstructed the walls.
However, the tribes were unable to collect enough money to rebuild the Ka’bah completely, so a small wall was built showing the boundaries of the original foundation laid by Ibraheem This small wall enclosed an area of about six cubits on the northern side of the Ka’bah and is called Hijr Isma’eel.🕋

👉When the wall was completed up to the spot where the Black Stone (Al-Hajr Al-Aswad) was located, a dispute arose.⚔️
