Khadija was a very successful merchant. It is said that when the Quraysh's trade caravan travellers gathered to embark upon their summer journey to [[Syria (region)|Syria]] or winter journey to [[Yemen]], Khadija's caravan equaled the caravans of all other traders of the Quraysh put together.<ref>Muhammad ibn Saad, ''Tabaqat'' vol. 8. Translated by Bewley, A. (1995). ''The Women of Madina'', p. 10. London: Ta-Ha Publishers.</ref> Khadija was given many honorifics, including 'The Pious One', 'Princess of Quraysh' (''Ameerat-Quraysh''), and 'Khadija the Great' (''Khadija al-Kubra'').<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EZbFAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA162|last = van Gorder|first = A Christian|title = Islam, Peace and Social Justice: A Christian Perspective|date = 2014|location = Cambridge|page = 162|isbn = 978-0-227-17422-7|access-date = 2017-12-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180217202736/https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=EZbFAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA162|archive-date = 2018-02-17|url-status = live}}</ref> It is said that she fed and clothed the poor, assisted her relatives financially, and provided marriage portions for poor relations.<ref name=":0" /> Khadija was said to have [[Hanif|neither believed in nor worshipped]] [[Taghut|idols]], which was atypical for [[pre-Islamic Arabia]]n culture.<ref name="Yasin T. al-Jibouri">{{cite web|author=Yasin T. al-Jibouri|title=Khadijah, Daughter of Khuwaylid, Wife of Prophet Muhammad|date=20 January 2013 |url=https://www.al-islam.org/articles/khadijah-daughter-khuwaylid-wife-prophet-muhammad-yasin-t-al-jibouri|publisher=[[Ahlul Bayt Digital Islamic Library Project]]|access-date=23 August 2017|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202042147/https://www.al-islam.org/articles/khadijah-daughter-khuwaylid-wife-prophet-muhammad-yasin-t-al-jibouri|archive-date=2 February 2017|url-status=live}} "One particular quality in Khadija was quite interesting, probably more so than any of her other qualities mentioned above: She believed in nor worshipped idols."</ref> |

Khadija did not travel with her trade caravans; instead, she employed others to trade on her behalf for a commission. Khadija needed a co-worker for a transaction in Syria. She hired young [[Muhammad]], who was in his early twenties at that time, for the trade in Syria, sending word that she would pay to double her usual commission.<ref>Muhammad ibn Saad, ''Tabaqat'' vol. 1. Translated by Haq, S. M. ''Ibn Sa'ad's Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir'', p. 145–146. Delhi: Kitab Bhavan.</ref> With the permission of [[Abu Talib ibn Abd al-Muttalib|Abu Talib ibn Muttalib]], his uncle, Muhammad was sent to Syria with one of Khadija's servants. This caravan experience earned Muhammad the honorifics of ''al-Sadiq'' ('the Truthful') and al-Amin'' ('the Trustworthy'). |

She sent one of her servants, Maysarah, to assist him. Upon returning, Maysarah gave accounts of the honourable way in which Muhammad had conducted his business, bringing back twice as much profit as Khadija had expected.<ref name="Guillaume">{{cite book|last=Guillaume|title=The Life of Muhammad|year=1955|publisher=Oxford|page=83}}</ref> |
