Khadijah's Christian cousin, who recognised the first revelation as the message of Musa.
After the first revelation in Hira, Khadijah took the shaken Prophet ﷺ to her cousin Waraqa, an old, blind Christian who had studied the scriptures. Waraqa said, "This is the same Namus that Allah sent to Musa," and wished he would live to support him when his people drove him out. He died soon after.
