Ibrahim ibn Muhammad, The baby son in Madinah
Family of the Prophet ﷺThe baby son in Madinah
Ibrahim ibn Muhammadإبراهيم بن محمد
Madinah
The Prophet's ﷺ last child, whose death taught that eclipses are signs, not omens.
Ibrahim was born to Maria in Madinah in 630 and died at about eighteen months. The Prophet ﷺ wept and said, "The eyes shed tears and the heart grieves, but we say only what pleases our Lord." The sun eclipsed that day and people said it was for Ibrahim. He corrected them: the sun and moon do not eclipse for anyone's death or life.
