THE PROPHET MOHAMMED.(See pp. 184-195.) MOHAMMEDS EARLY LIFE. 1 gfi ghost. On his dying bed, he summoned Abu Taleb, theeldest of his sons, whom he is said to have addressed as fol-lows : My dearest, best-beloved son, to thy charge I leaveMohammed, the son of thine own brother, strictly recom-mended, whose natural father the Lord hath been pleased totake to himself, with the intent that this dear child shouldbecome ours by adoption ; and much dearer ought he to beunto us than merely an adopted son. Receive him, there-fore, at my dying hands, with the same sincere love andtender bowels with which I deliver him to thy care. Honor,love, and cherish him as much, or even more, than if lie hadsprung from thine own loins ; for all the honor thon si low-est unto him shall be trebled unto thee. Be more thanordinarily careful in thy treatment towards him, for it willbe repaid thee with interest. Give him the preference be-fore thine own children, for he exceedeth them and all man-kind in excelle
