The servant whose report of the journey to Syria moved Khadijah to propose.
Khadijah sent her servant Maysarah with Muhammad ﷺ when he led her caravan to Syria. Maysarah came back full of praise: for his honesty in trade, his manners, and what the monk Nastur had said. The profit was double, and soon after Khadijah proposed marriage.
