بَحِيرَىٰ راہب کی عبادت گاہ
Bahira, Arabic: بَحِيرَىٰ, was an Assyrian, likely Nestorian monk from the tribe of Abd al-Qays who, according to Islamic religion, foretold to the adolescent Muhammad his future as a prophet. His name derives from the Syriac bḥīrā, meaning “tested (by God) and approved”.
