مكة المكرمة
نقطة الانطلاق: مكة المكرمة. ارتحل به أبو طالب تاجراً إلى الشام حتى وصل إلى بصرى، وهي يومئذ قصبة لحوران؛ وفي بصرى لقي الراهب بحيرا (الرحيق ص58-59). التاريخ المذكور للفتى عند الرحلة: اثنتا عشرة سنة، قيل وشهران وعشرة أيام (ابن هشام 1/168؛ الرحيق ص58).

Overview
The route
- From Mecca to Busra: Abu Talib set out with the youth as a merchant to Syria, until he arrived at Busra, which at that time was the chief town of Hawran in lands that were under Roman rule 2 3.
- From Busra to Mecca: After Bahira recognised the youth by his qualities and by the seal of prophethood, and advised that he be taken back to Mecca for fear of the Jews, his uncle sent him back to Mecca with some of his servants 4.
On the road
The text does not mention stations between Mecca and Busra, so none are presented here.
Notes
The text gives the youth's age on this journey (twelve years), but gives no Hijri or Gregorian date for it, so no date has been set.
