The reciter: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) said in the hadith of 'Aishah regarding her report on the first revelation to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him):
Khadija then accompanied him to her cousin Waraqa bin Naufal bin Asad bin 'Abdul 'Uzza, who, during the pre-Islamic Period became a Christian and used to write the writing with Hebrew letters. He would write from the Gospel in Hebrew as much as Allah wished him to write. He was an old man and had lost his eyesight. Khadija said to Waraqa, "Listen to the story of your nephew, O my cousin!" Waraqa asked, "O my nephew! What have you seen?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) described whatever he had seen. Waraqa said, "This is the same one who keeps the secrets (angel Gabriel) whom Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and could live up to the time when your people would فانطلقت به خديجة حتى أتت به ورقة بن نوفل بن أسد بن عبد العزى ابن عم خديجة ، وكان امرأً قد تنصر في الجاهلية وكان يكتب الكتاب العبراني ، فيكتب من الإنجيل بالعبرانية ما شاء الله أن يكتب ، وكان شيخًا كبيرًا قد عمي ، فقالت له خديجة : يا ابن عم اسمع من ابن أخيك ، فقال له ورقة : يا ابن أخي ماذا ترى ؟. فأخبره رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم خبر ما رأى فقال له ورقة : هذا الناموس الذي نزل الله على موسى يا ليتني فيها جذعًا ليتني أكون حيًا إذ يخرجُك
Sahih al-Bukhari 3
.
The reciter: "drives you out" (yukhrijuka), O Shaykh, with a damma, in my opinion
when they drive you out إذ يخرجُك
.

The Shaykh : "when they drive you out," yes,
when they drive you out إذ يخرجُك
.
The reciter:
when your people would turn you out." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked, "Will they drive me out?" Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said, "Anyone (man) who came with something similar to what you have brought was treated with hostility; and if I should remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would support you strongly." But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Inspiration was also paused for a while. إذ يخرجُك قومك فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : أومخرجي هم ؟. قال : نعم لم يأت رجل قط بمثل ما جئت به إلا عودي ، وإن يدركني يومك أنصرك نصرًا مؤزرًا ، ثم لم ينشب ورقة أن توفي وفتر الوحي
Sahih al-Bukhari 3
.

The Shaykh : This passage contains the fact that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) related to Khadijah what he had related, she took him to Waraqah ibn Nawfal, because he had knowledge of the Scripture, since he had become a Christian, meaning he entered the religion of the Christians. And the religion of the Christians at that time did not have the distortion that occurred after the sending of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). It had distortion, but it was not like the distortion that occurred after the sending of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), because what occurred after the sending of the Messenger was a great distortion, by which they reached the denial of the prophethood of Muhammad (may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him), even though it is established in the Gospel.
Waraqah said to him:
This is the same one who keeps the secrets (angel Gabriel) whom Allah had sent to Moses هذا الناموس الذي نزل الله على موسى
Sahih al-Bukhari 3
. The "namus" (angel) is said to be the messenger of the secret, who is sent with the secret, and is called a namus.
And his saying:
I wish I were young and could live up to the time when your people would turn you out. يا ليتني فيها جذعًا ، ليتني أكون حيًا إذ يخرجُك قومك
Sahih al-Bukhari 3
this is from the intuition of the man, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will be driven out, because he deduced that no man has ever come with what he brought except that he was opposed, meaning except that his people opposed him, and this is the reality.
Then he said:
and if I should remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would support you strongly وإن يدركني يومك أنصرك نصرًا مؤزرًا
Sahih al-Bukhari 3
, but he did not reach his day.
