for breath, struggling for life. The eyes of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ filled with tears and he said, “The eyes weep, the heart grieves, yet we say only what pleases the Lord. By Allah, O Ibrāhīm, we are truly saddened by your loss.” Muslim transmitted this report, and al-Bukhārī cited it in a decisive suspended form.

Shuʿbah narrated from ʿAdī ibn Thābit, from al-Barāʾ, who said: When Ibrāhīm, the son of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, passed away, the Prophet ﷺ said, “He has a wet-nurse who will complete his suckling for him in Paradise.” Al-Bukhārī recorded it.

Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad al-Ṣādiq related from his father that the Prophet ﷺ performed the funeral prayer over his son Ibrāhīm when the child died.

In the same year Abū ʿĀmir the Monk—who had been with Heraclius, the Emperor of Rome—died.

That year also witnessed the death of Būrān bint Kisrā, queen of the Persians; after her they installed her sister Āzarmidukht as ruler, according to Abū ʿUbaydah.

Toward the end of Dhū al-Qaʿdah, Muḥammad ibn Abī Bakr al-Ṣiddīq was born to Asmāʾ bint ʿUmays at Dhū al-Ḥulayfah while she was accompanying the Prophet ﷺ.

Jābir ibn ʿAbd Allāh said: We set out with the Prophet ﷺ until we reached Dhū al-Ḥulayfah, where Asmāʾ bint ʿUmays gave birth to Muḥammad ibn Abī Bakr. She sent word to the Prophet asking, “What should I do?” He replied, “Perform a full bath, bind yourself with a cloth, and enter the state of iḥrām.”

In that same year Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr ibn Ḥazm was born in Najrān, where his father was then residing.
