Did all the wives and children of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, die during his lifetime?
The male children of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him (Al-Qasim, Abdullah, and Ibrahim), died in infancy during his lifetime. Three of his daughters (Zaynab, Ruqayyah, and Umm Kulthum) died during his lifetime, while Fatimah, may Allah be pleased with her, passed away six months after him.
Two of his wives passed away during his lifetime: Khadijah and Zaynab bint Khuzaymah. Rayhanah bint Zayd ibn Amr also passed away (it is said she was a bondswoman and not one of the Mothers of the Believers). The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, passed away leaving nine wives: Sawdah, Aishah, Hafsah, Umm Salamah, Zaynab bint Jahsh, Umm Habibah, Juwayriyah, Safiyyah, and Maymunah, may Allah be pleased with all of them.
