Prophet Muhammad ﷺ & his householdSīrah

ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalibعَبْد الله

About

The father of the Prophet ﷺ, son of ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib. He was the son his father had vowed to sacrifice, and was redeemed with a hundred camels when the lots fell on him. He married Āmina bint Wahb of Banū Zuhra, and died on a trading journey and was buried in Yathrib, before, by the majority report, his son was born. The Prophet ﷺ thus grew up an orphan, under his grandfather and then his uncle Abū Ṭālib.

The name

'Servant of Allah', which the Prophet ﷺ said is among the names most beloved to Allah (Muslim).
