Consensus on These Facts About the Sons and Daughters of Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)

Last updated on May 14th, 2025 at 09:17 pm

All the Muhadditheen and Mu-arrikheen [Hadeeth Scholars and Historians] agree that Sayyid-e-Aalam (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) married eleven times, his first wife was Hazrat Khadijah (Radhiyallahu anha), from her womb his sons and daughters were born, he did not have any children from any other wife, and that one son of his whose name was Ibraheem was born from his slave girl, Maariyah Qibtiyyah (Radhiyallahu anha).

There is also agreement among all that none of the sons of Sayyid-e-Aalam (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) reached the age of buloogh [majority]; all passed away in childhood.

His daughters, however, grew up and they were married. All of them were Muslims and they made Hijrat to Madinah Munawwarah.

The following appears in Al-Istee’aab:

“There is consensus that she (Hazrat Khadijah, Radhiyallahu anha) gave birth to four daughters of his, all were alive in the Era of Islam, and all made Hijrat. They are Zainab, Faatimah, Ruqayyah and Umme Kulthum (Radhiyallahu Anhunna).”
