Abu-l Aas inherited the Quraysh love for trade. The Quraysh of course were known to be masters of the two annual trading expeditions. The winter expedition to the south, to Yemen, and the summer expedition to the north, to Syria. These two expeditions are mentioned in the Quran in the chapter named after the Quraysh.

The caravans of Abu-l Ads always plied between Makkah and Syria. Each caravan was made up of two hundred men and a hundred camels. People would entrust their wealth and their goods to him to trade on their behalf because of his skill as a merchant. His honesty and his trustworthiness.

The maternal aunt of Abu-l Aas was Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, the wife of Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam. She treated him like a mother would her own son, with love and affection. Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam too was extremely fond of him.

The years went by quickly in the household of Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam and Khadijah RA. Zanaib RA, their eldest daughter, soon grew up and blossomed forth like a lovely flower. She was much sought after in marriage by the sons of respectable Makkan nobles. And why not? She was one of the most distinguished Makkan girls in lineage and social standing. She was blessed with the most honourable father and mother. And she had the finest morals and behaviour.

Which one of these scions of Makkan nobility would win her hand? Abu-l Aas ibn Rabi'ah was the one who did. Abu-l Aas and Zaynab were only married a few years when the Divine light of Islam radiated over Makkah. Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam, the father of Zaynab, was now the Prophet of Allah, sent to convey the religion of guidance and truth. He was commanded to convey the message of Islam first to his family and nearest relatives. The first women to believe in him and accept Islam were his wife Khadija RA and his daughters Zaynab RA, Ruqayyah RA, Umm Kulthum and Fatimah. Fatimah was very young at the time. read more
