Abdullah (Father of Rasulullah (ﷺ):

 Series Episode: Abdullah (Father of Rasulullah (ﷺ): 

He was the respected father of the Prophet (ﷺ). His (Abdullah's) mother's name was Fatimah. She was the daughter of 'Amr bin Ayez bin Imran Makhjum bin Yaqyah bin Murrah. Among the children of Abdul Muttalib, Abdullah was the most beautiful and possessed of the best character. He was very dear to his father. His nickname or title was Jabeeh. The reason why he was called Jabeeh was that when the number of sons that Abdul Muttalib had prayed for reached 10 and all of them qualified to defend themselves, Abdul Muttalib informed them of their vow (to sacrifice one on their behalf to Allah) and they all agreed to this proposal. Acknowledgment. 

It is said that Abdul Muttalib held a lottery as to which of the boys should be sacrificed. Abdullah's name came up in the lottery even though he was his favorite. In this situation Abdullah Muttalib said, O Allah! Is he a hundred camels? Then again, if Abdullah and 100 camels draw a lottery, 100 camels will be named. It is also said that Abdul Muttalib wrote the names of all of them on the fortune-telling arrow and after turning it round and round in the manner of the attendants or overseers of the Hubal statue, drew out the selection ball or lottery ball. Abdullah's name came up in the lottery. Abdul Muttalib took Abdullah's hand and led him to the Kaaba. He had in his hand a sharp weapon useful for all purposes. But among the Quraysh Banu Makhjum i.e. the people of different clans of Abdullah and Abdullah's brother Abu Talib prevented him in this regard. Abdul Muttalib, who was prevented from fulfilling his oath, said, "Then what can be done about his oath?" In this regard, they advised her to take advice from a woman with special knowledge or a scholar in this regard. When Abdul Muttalib went to a theoretician and asked for his advice in this regard, he suggested the use of lotteries between Abdullah and 10 camels to make the right decision. give If Abdullah's name comes up in the electoral bead, then add 10 more camels to the electoral bead and use the electoral bead until the word 'camel' appears in the place of Abdullah's name. Then the number of camels that will be used to determine the number of electoral beads should be sacrificed in the name of Allah. 

After returning from there, Abdul Muttalib used electoral beads between Abdullah and 10 camels. But Abdullah's name was published in it. As per the instructions of the theoreticians, he increased the number of camels in the second round and used electoral beads. But even in this Abdullah's name comes up. So he continued to use electoral beads by increasing the number of 10 camels in each subsequent round. The word camel appears when the hundred camels and Abdullah's name are used in electoral beads to continue in this verse. In view of this, Abdul Muttalib sacrificed 100 camels in the name of Allah instead of Abdullah. There was no restriction on the consumption of the meat of the sacrificed animal by any human or animal. Before the mentioned incident, the Khesarat or value of Shonitpat between the Arabs and Quraysh was 10 camels. But after this incident its increased number was fixed to 100 camels. Islam has also established this number permanently. On the authority of the Beloved Prophet (ﷺ), he said, 'I am the son of two Zawis', one is Ismail (a.s.) and the other is my father Abdullah. 

Abdul Muttalib chose Aminahah to marry his son Abdullah. She was the daughter of Wahab bin Abde Manaf bin Zuhra bin Kilab. She was considered a noble woman of the Quraish tribe by lineage and status. His father was the leader of the famous Banu Juhra tribe. After the marriage, Aminah came to her husband's house in Makkah and lived with her husband, but shortly afterwards Abdul Muttalib sent Abdullah to Madinah to fetch dates on business. He died there. 

Some biographers say that Abdullah traveled to Shamdesh for business purposes. On his way back to Makkah with a Quraysh caravan, he fell ill and landed in Madinah. He died there in that illness. Arrangements were made for his burial at Nabega Zaidi's house. At that time he was 25 years old. Most historians are of the opinion that he was not born at the time of his father's death. A small number of historians are of the opinion that the Prophet (ﷺ) was born two months before his father's death. [2] When the news of his death reached Mecca, Aminah recited a dirge in very poignant language. The sad story is- 

عَفَـا جانبُ البطحـاءِ من ابن هـاشـم

**

وجاور لَحْدًا خارجـًــا في الغَــمَاغِم

دَعَتْـــه المنــايا دعــوة فأجـابـهــا
    **
 وما تركتْ في الناس مثل ابن هاشم

عشيـة راحـوا يحمــــلــون سريـره
    **
   تَعَاوَرَهُ أصــحــابــه في التزاحـــم

فإن تـك غـالتـه الــمنـايا ورَيْبَهـا

**

فقـد كـان مِعْطـاءً كـثير التراحم

Meaning: 'The land of Bata lost the son of Hashim, he was contented with blissful sleep in the tomb amid the shouts and noises. Death leaves no man like Ibn Hashim among men. (How sad it was) when people were carrying him on his death bed that evening. However, death and the events of death ended his existence. Yet it cannot erase his superior character traits. He was very kind and had a soft heart.

The assets he left behind at the time of his death were 5 camels, a herd of goats and an Abyssinian maid named Barakat and surnamed Umm Ayman respectively. It was Umm Ayman who fed milk to Nabi Karim.
