Muhammad accompany the trade caravans
Abu Talib was a merchant who traveled with the caravans to Syria for trading. When Muhammad was 10 years old Abu Talib decided to train him in business. He took Muhammad along with him on one of his business trips to Syria.

All along the journey from Mecca to Syria, a cloud accompanied the caravan. The cloud hung over Muhammad's head shading him from the heat of the sun.
On the way to Syria, the caravan passed by a monastery which they always passed by it. The monk had never talked to them. This time the monk noticed the cloud. He asked his servant to prepare food and to invite all those who accompanied the caravan. They all responded but left Muhammad to take care of the camels.
Bahirah (the monk) looked through the crowed then he asked them if they all were present. They said: "Yes". He insisted that all of them should join. So they brought Muhammad.
