1 Dez 630 Jahr - Birth of Ibrahim ibn Muhammad

Beschreibung:

Ibrahim ibn Muhammad (Arabic: إِبْرَاهِيم ٱبْن مُحَمَّد‎) was the third son of Muhammad ﷺ and Maria al-Qibtiyya. He was born in the last month of the year 8 AH, equivalent of ca 630 AD.
Ibrahim fell seriously ill sometime after the Battle of Tabuk, at which time he was reported as being either sixteen or eighteen months old. He was moved to a date orchard near the residence of his mother, under the care of her and her sister Sirin. When it was clear that he would not likely survive, Muhammad ﷺ was informed. His ﷺ reaction to the news is reported as:

“He was so shocked at the news that he felt his knees could no longer carry him, and asked `Abd al Rahman ibn `Awf to give him his hand to lean upon. He proceeded immediately to the orchard and arrived in time to bid farewell to an infant dying in his mother's lap. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ took the child and laid him in his own lap with shaking hand. His heart was torn apart by the new tragedy, and his face mirrored his inner pain. Choking with sorrow, he said to his son, "O Ibrahim, against the judgement of God, we cannot avail you a thing," and then fell silent. Tears flowed from his eyes. The child lapsed gradually, and his mother and aunt watched and cried incessantly, but the Prophet ﷺ never ordered them to stop. As Ibrahim surrendered to death, Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ hope which had consoled him for a brief while completely crumbled. With tears in his eyes he talked once more to the deceased child: "O Ibrahim, were the truth not certain that the last of us will join the first, we would have mourned you even more than we do now." A moment later he said: "The eyes send their tears and the heart is saddened, but we do not say anything except that which pleases our Lord. Indeed, O Ibrahim, we are bereaved by your departure from us.”
