It is narrated from the wife of the Messenger, Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), that when the people of Makkah sent wealth and other things to ransom their captives, Sayyida Zainab, daughter of the Messenger (may Allah be pleased with her), sent wealth as ransom for her husband Abu al-As bin Rabi', and among it she also sent her necklace. This necklace actually belonged to Sayyida Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her); when Sayyida Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her) was married to Abu al-As, Sayyida Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) had given it to her. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw that necklace, he was overcome with emotion and said: If you people consider it appropriate, then free my daughter's captive just like that and return her necklace to her. The noble Companions said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah! So they released Abu al-As and returned the necklace to Sayyida Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the daughter of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyida Ruqayyah (may Allah be pleased with her), passed away, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has had intercourse with his wife last night should not enter the grave." Thus, Sayyiduna Uthman ibn Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) did not enter the grave.

Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyidah Umm Kulthum (may Allah be pleased with her), was placed in the grave, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse {مِنْہَا خَلَقْنَاکُمْ وَفِیْہَا نُعِیْدُکُمْ وَمِنْہَا نُخْرِجُکُمْ تَارَۃً أُخْرٰی} … "We created you from this earth, and into it We shall return you, and from it We shall bring you forth once again." (Surah Ta-Ha, 55) Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I do not know whether after this the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this supplication or not: "Bismillah, wa fi sabilillah, wa 'ala millati Rasoolillah." (With the name of Allah, in the way of Allah, and according to the way of the Messenger of Allah.) When the grave was sealed with bricks, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) threw some clay towards the people and said: "Fill the gaps between the bricks with this." Then he said: "This is not something necessary, but it just gives some comfort to the living."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has granted me a son tonight, and I have named him after my father, Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entrusted him for nursing to the wife of a blacksmith of Madinah, Sayyiduna Abu Saif (may Allah be pleased with him), Lady Umm Saif (may Allah be pleased with her). Once, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went walking to see him, and I also went with him. When I arrived there, Abu Saif was blowing into his furnace and the room was filled with smoke. I hurried ahead of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said to him: Abu Saif! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has arrived. So he stopped his work. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered. He called for the child and held him to his chest. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I saw him in front of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in such a state that he was surrendering his soul to Allah. Seeing this scene, tears came to the eyes of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The eye is shedding tears, and the heart is grieved, but we will only say that which pleases Allah Almighty, and O Ibrahim, we are greatly saddened by your separation.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I have not found anyone more kind to his family than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The son of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him), had been sent to the upper suburbs of Madinah for nursing. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to go to see him, and we would also be with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would enter their house, even though there would be smoke rising in the house, because his foster father was a blacksmith. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would pick up Sayyiduna Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him), kiss him, and then return. The narrator Amr says: When Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) passed away, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, Ibrahim is my son. Since he passed away during the period of nursing, he will have two foster mothers in Paradise who will complete his nursing.

Sayyiduna Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the son of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him), passed away at the age of sixteen months. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to be buried in Jannat al-Baqi‘, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A wet nurse in Paradise will suckle him.

Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the son of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him), passed away at the age of eighteen months, and he (the Prophet) did not lead his funeral prayer.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: If the son of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him), had lived, he would have been a true prophet.

It is narrated from Ismail bin Abi Khalid, he says: Sayyiduna Ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If there were to be any prophet after the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then his son, Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him), would not have passed away.

It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) was present in my house, when Sayyida Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) came carrying a pot in which there was khazira prepared with meat. When she entered upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), he said: Call your husband and your two sons and bring them here. In the meantime, Sayyiduna Ali, Sayyiduna Hasan, and Sayyiduna Husayn came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and they all began to eat the khazira. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) was in a place resembling a small room, which was his sleeping place, and a sheet made in Khaybar was spread underneath. Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I was praying in the chamber, and at that time Allah the Exalted revealed this verse: {إِنَّمَا یُرِیدُ اللّٰہُ لِیُذْہِبَ عَنْکُمْ الرِّجْسَ أَہْلَ الْبَیْتِ وَیُطَہِّرَکُمْ تَطْہِیرًا} … Allah only intends to remove impurity from you, O People of the House, and to purify you completely. After this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) took a part of the extra sheet and covered them, then raised his hand towards the sky and said: O my Allah! These are my family and my special ones, so remove impurity from them and purify them. O my Allah! These are my family and my special ones, so remove impurity from them and purify them. In the meantime, Umm Salama, who was outside the room, inserted her head under the sheet and said: O Messenger of Allah! Am I also with you? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Indeed, you are upon goodness, without doubt you are upon goodness.
