Hadith.4398 - When Abu Talib 
, may Allah (swt) have mercy upon him, arranged the marriage of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) to Khadijah bint Khuwaylid {s.a}, may Allah (swt) have mercy upon her, after proposing to her through her father, or as some say, through her uncle.
Abu Talib , stood by the doorposts, addressing the gathering of Quraysh who were present.
Abu Talib began by praising Allah (swt), saying:
"All praise is due to Allah (swt), who made us from the progeny of Ibrahim and the descendants of Isma'il, who established for us a sacred house that is frequented (by pilgrims) and a secure sanctuary to which the fruits of all things are brought.
He (swt) has made us the rulers over the people in our land.
My nephew, Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abdul-Muttalib ﷺ, cannot be compared to any man of Quraysh except that He ﷺ surpasses them in virtue, nor can He ﷺ be equated with anyone except that He ﷺ holds greater honor than them.
Though He ﷺ may possess little wealth, wealth is merely a fleeting provision and a transient shade.
He ﷺ has an interest in Khadijah {s.a}, and she {s.a} has an interest in Him .
The dowry, whether its immediate or deferred portion, will be paid from my wealth.
He ﷺ holds a great position, a lofty status, and an eloquent and persuasive tongue."
Following this address, Khadijah {s.a} was married to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and He ﷺ consummated the marriage the following day.
The first child she {s.a} bore for Him ﷺ was Abdullah ibn Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family).
