When Khadijah became pregnant, Saffiyah, who was Muhammad's aunt
although she was only a few years older than him, offered the services of

her maid Salma to assist with the birth. Khadijah gratefully accepted and so
Salma became the midwife to all of the children born to them. The names of
Khadijah and Muhammad's two sons were Kasim and Abdullah – who was
also known as Al Tahir or Al Tayyib – and their daughters were named
Zaynab, Rukiyah, Umm Kulthum and Fatima. However, their sons were not

Abdullah died during infancy shortly after his father became the Seal of the
Prophets of Allah, praise and peace be upon him.
Khadijah was generous and had a very kind heart and always gave to the
return to the Prophet's household.
