Kadijah was a rich widow, and the wife of Muhammad, who had been her steward and factotum, and whom he married when she was forty and himself only twenty-five, and with whom he lived till her death, âloving her truly and her alone,â himself now a man of fifty; he had begun his mission as a prophet before she died, and one service she did him he never forgot as the greatest of them all: she believed in him, when no one else did.[1]
