Yet the firm followers of Muhammad saws, did not turn away from their true religion and they came out of the ordeal stronger and purer than before.
Khadija ra, who had been brought up in luxury in her wealthy father’s home, now faced the economic hardships with patience and courage, which are a necessary part of any siege.
Greetings from Allah swt for Khadija ra.
Khadija’s ra, nobility of character and conduct during this trial pleased Allah swt so much that He swt, sent special greetings for her ra.
This incident was quoted in Sahih Al-Bukhari.

The prophet saws lived in her ra, house which became a blessed place due to his saws, presence and the fact that Jibril as, came often to visit him there with Quranic revelations.
It became the center of Islam, where the companions and women companions visited often to partake of the hospitality of Muhammad (saw), and his wife Khadijah (ra)
Khadija’s( ra) blessed home later the house of Allah swt.
After the Hijra (migration) of the Prophet s(aw) to Al-Madinah, the house was occupied by the brother of Ali (ra). later Mu’awiyah bin Abu Sufyan (ra) who transcribed some of the Divine Revelations purchased this house and built a mosque there.
Thus, the site of the house of Khadija (ra,) became a place of prayer and worship for all time.
The narration of Afif Kindi.
Afif Kindi relates that Abbas bin Abdul Mutallib was a great friend of his and he used to visit him often in Yemen in connection with his business in perfumes.
On one occasion when they were standing and chatting in Mina, they saw a handsome young man approach. This man carefully washed his hands and feet and then stood respectfully with his arms crossed on his chest. Then he saw a dignified lady of noble bearing and a young handsome lad join him.
Afif asked Abbas, what they were doing and whether this was a new form of exercise. Abbas replied that the youth was his brother Abdullah’s son, (ie. Muhammad saw) and the lady was his wife (i.e.Khadija ra) she was a woman of great wealth and virtue, and an ideal wife and mother. The lad was his brother Abu Talib’s son (i.e. Ali ibn Abi Talib ra)
Muhammad (saw) had announced that he was a messenger of Allah swt, and had started preaching a new religion called Islam.In due course Afif accepted Islam, but he always regretted the fact that he had not joined Muhammad (saw) and his Companions in their prayers and supplication on that memorable day in Mina, when he had first heard of Islam
