Excerpts from "The Sealed Nectar"
Back to His Passionate Mother.
After this event, Halimah was worried about the boy and returned him to his mother with whom he stayed until he was six.
In respect of the memory of her late husband, Aminah decided to visit his grave in Yathrib (Madinah). She set out to cover a journey of 500 kilometers with her orphan boy, her father-in-law 'Abdul-Muttalib, and a woman servant Umm Aiman. She spent a month there and then made her way back to Makkah. On the route, she suffered a servant illness and died in Abwa on the road between Makkah and Madinah.
