Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The books of biographies differ concerning the duration of Amena’s pregnancy with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, but the most accurate view is that it was a natural pregnancy. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was born in the house of his birth in the Year of the Elephant, a few months after his father’s death, according to the more correct opinion, and it was also said that it was seven months after his birth. Thuwaybah, the freed slave of Abu Lahab, breastfed him along with Hamza.
