A monk who said only a prophet had ever rested beneath that tree.
On the trade journey he led for Khadijah, the young Muhammad ﷺ rested under a tree near a monk's cell in Syria. The monk Nastur asked Maysarah who he was, and said no one but a prophet had ever sat under that tree. Maysarah carried the story home to Khadijah.
