*Fascinating Facts*
Bahira sent word to the Meccan caravan and said "Men of Quraysh, I have prepared food for you, and I would that ye should come to me, every one of you, young and old, bondman and freeman." So they came to his cell, but despite what he had said they left Muhammad to look after their camels and their baggage. As they approached, Bahira scanned their faces one by one. But he could see nothing, which corresponded to the description in his book, nor did there seem to be any man amongst them who was adequate to the greatness of the two miracles. Perhaps they had not all come.
"Men of Quraysh," he said, "let none of you stay behind." "There is not one that hath been left behind," they answered, "save only a boy, the youngest of us all." "Treat him not so" said Bahira, "but call him to come, and let him be present with us at this meal." Abu Talib and the others reproached themselves for their thoughtlessness. "We are indeed to blame," said one of them, "that the son of Abduallah should have been left behind and not brought to share this feast with us," whereupon he went to him and embraced him and brought him to sit with the people.
