In a state of confusion he returned home to Khadijah. When
his wife saw him she became very worried as he began to
shiver, as though in a fever. He asked her to wrap him in
blankets, which she did. After a while he recovered sufficiently
to tell her what had happened at Hira'. Khadijah believed all
that he told her and with great respect said: 'Be happy, 0 son
of my uncle and be confident. Truly I swear by Allah who has
my soul in His hands, that you will be our people's Prophet.'
Muhammad (pbuh), the Messenger of Allah, was eased by her
faith in him, but after all that had happened he was exhausted
and felt fast asleep.
Khadijah left the Prophet (pbuh) sleeping and went to see
her cousin, Waraqah Ibn Nawfal, to ask him what he thought
about all that had happened. Waraqah was a very wise man
who had read many books and had become a Christian after
studying the Bible. He told Khadijah that Muhammad (pbuh)
had been chosen by Allah to be His Messenger. Just as the
Archangel Gabriel had come to Moses before and had ordered
him to guide his people, so, too, would Muhammad (pbuh) be
the Prophet of his people. But Waraqah warned that all the
people would not listen to the Prophet and some would
mistreat his followers. He must, however, be patient because
he had a great message for all the world. From that day on,
the Archangel Gabriel came often to the Prophet (pbuh) and
the verses he taught him, the message from Allah to man,
were later written down, and are known to us as the Holy
Koran
