AQasim
BTahir
CIbrahim
DAbdullah
Explanation
– Ibrahim, a son of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) born to Maria al-Qibtiyya, passed away in infancy, causing the Prophet (PBUH) considerable personal grief despite his complete submission to Allah’s will.
– This event coincided with a solar eclipse, and the Prophet (PBUH) notably clarified to his companions that this natural occurrence was unrelated to his son’s death, correcting a common misconception of the time.
– For exams, note that none of the Prophet’s sons survived into adulthood, with his family line continuing through his daughter Fatimah (RA).
