In this post we will discuss about the Father of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam.

Let's first read an ayath of the Quran 13:8


Allah in this ayah claims that pregnancy can very from a short period of time to a long period of time.

Now let's read the Tafsir of this ayah. Read Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs


Now we will see Qurtubi's Tafsir on 13:8


See Aisha, Al-shafi'l, Al-Zuhri all claims pregnancy can go upto 2 to 4 years. Why are they claiming like this?

You can read fatwas regarding this: Fatwa No: 76300 from islamweb.net


This is also discussed by other scholars in IslamQA.info website (answer: 140103)


Why am I showcasing all these...?

I will tell that... Before that we need to see some other references.

Read the below book: The Life of Muhammad - Al-Waqidi's Kitab al-Maghazi - page -36


We will read one more reference Kitab At Tabaqat Al Kabir Ibn Sa'd vol-3 p-4: Translated by Aisha Bewley


So who was this Hamzah? It can be found in 2 pages above the same book: Kitab At Tabaqat Al Kabir Ibn Sa'd vol-3 p-2: Translated by Aisha Bewley


Hamza is also uncle of Muhammad.So this uncle Hamza of Muhammad is just 4 years older than Muhammad.

Now when we look at Muhammad's parents you can get information about it on same book on page 1 & 2.
