The Good and the Pure

'Abdullah was the youngest child of the Prophet ﷺ and Khadijah, born in Makkah after his brother al-Qasim and his four sisters. Many of the biographers say he was born after the revelation began, and that this is why he was given the names al-Tayyib, "the good", and al-Tahir, "the pure".

He did not live long. He died while still an infant, and his parents lost a second son. The boy whose names spoke of goodness and purity left the world before he could do anything at all except be loved.
