Dear Islamic brothers! Allah Almighty granted our Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم 3 princes (sons) رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم and 4 princesses (daughters) رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُنَّ. Here is a brief biography of each of them:
Sayyiduna Qaasim رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ: Was born to Sayyidatuna Khadijah رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا before the announcement of Prophethood. This is where our Beloved Rasool’s title Abul-Qaasim originates from. The majority of scholars believe that he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ passed away around the age when he had started to walk. (Zurqaani alal Mawahib, vol. 4, pp. 316)
Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ: Was born in Makkah Mu’azzamah before the announcement of Prophethood and passed away in his childhood. Tayyib and Taahir are his (Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ) titles. (Ibid)

She was married to Maula-e-Ka`eenat Sayyiduna ‘Ali-ul-Murtada کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم in 2 AH. All honourable Sayyids anywhere in the world today are the descendants of her two princes, Sayyiduna Imam Hasan and Sayyiduna Imam Husayn رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا. She left this mortal world on 3rd Ramadan-ul-Mubarak, 11 AH, six months after the apparent demise of our Noble Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
