Children Of Prophet

hi    ur    ro  

 Question 

How many sons and daughters did al rasool (salaa alaho alayhee wasalam) has? and from which of his wive ?

 Answer 

Praise be to Allah.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had both sons and daughters, the first of whom was al-Qaasim, from whom he took his kunya Abu’l-Qaasim. He died in childhood, and it was said that he lived until he was old enough to ride. Then came Zaynab, and it was said that she was older than al-Qaasim.

Then Ruqayyah, Umm Kulthoom and Faatimah. It was said concerning each of them that she was older than her two sisters.

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas that Ruqayyah was the oldest of the three and that Umm Kulthoom was the youngest.

Then ‘Abd-Allaah was born to him. There is some dispute as to whether he was born after his Prophethood began or before. Some scholars said that he was born after his Prophethood began. 

There is also some dispute as to whether he was al-Tayyib or al-Taahir, or whether they were other children; the correct view is that these were nicknames given to him; and Allaah knows best. These children were all born from Khadeejah and he had no children from any other wife. Then Ibraaheem was born to him from his concubine Maariyah al-Qibtiyyah in 8 AH.

Zaad al-Ma’aad, 1/103.

According to the most correct opinion, he had seven children, three boys and four girls. The boys were: 

1. al-Qaasim

2. Abd-Allaah

3- Ibraaheem

And the girls were: 

1- Zaynab

2- Ruqayyah

3- Umm Kulthoom

4- Faatimah

All of his children died during his lifetime, apart from Faatimah who died after him (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
