An Evaluation About the Number and Order of the Children Born from Khadija of The Prophet’s
Journal Title: İlahiyat Tetkikleri Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 49
Abstract
In resources, there is little report about the Prophet’s children, who were born by Khadijah. However there can be observed differences in the information given by these resources about the number of the children and the order of the children. There are reports in the resources claiming the number of children was five, six, seven, eight and even ten. It is understood that the problem about the number of children arises from accepting the names of Tayyib, Tâhir, Mutayyeb, Mutahhar, which were all given to Abd Allah, as a different child for each. On the other hand, it is determined that the names, which are openly mentioned in the resources such as Abd as-Shams Abd al-Uzzah, do not cause any difference in the number of the children. As for the reports which give information about the number of the children, the most reasonable ones are those which consider the number of children as six. In addition, it is ascertained that the problem about the order of the children arises because of the daughters. There is no disunity about that the eldest of the daughters is Zeyneb. Yet, there is no mutual agreement in relation to which one is younger among Rukayya, Umm Kulthum and Fâtıma. In order to be able to solve this problem, the reports about the order of the children are compared to the information about the children’s dates of birth. As a result of that, the conclusion reached is that the order of the children can be as following; Kâsım, Zaynab, Rukayya, Fâtıma, Umm Kulthum and Abd Allah.
