Hazrat Ruqayyah (Radhiyallahu anha) gave birth to only one son who was named Abdullah. He was born in Abyssinia.

Before Islam, Hazrat Uthmaan had a son by the name of Abdullah. For this reason, his kunyah was Abu Abdillah. Then when Hazrat Ruqayyah gave birth to a son, his name was also kept Abdullah and the kunyah of Hazrat Uthmaan remained Abu Abdillah.

This son reached six years of age and passed away in Jumaadal Ula 4AH. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) performed the Janaazah Salaah and Hazrat Uthmaan placed him in the qabr.

The cause of his death was that a fowl pecked him in the eye and caused the face to swell. The illness increased to the extent that he reached the Everlasting Abode. May Allah be pleased with him.

After Hazrat Abdullah (Radhiyallahu anhu), Hazrat Ruqayyah did not have more children.
