Main page: Incidents around the birth of the Prophet

Muḥaddithūn and Islamic historians unanimously agree that the Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ was born in the Year of the Elephant, approximately fifty days after its eponymous incident.[47] His birth ﷺ is attributed to either the 8th or 12th day of Rabīʿ al-Awwal, the third month of the Islamic lunar calendar (April, 570 CE).[48][49][50]

The Prophet ﷺ was born to ʿAbd-Allāh b. ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib and Āminah b. Wahb. His father, ʿAbd-Allāh, passed away a few months before his blessed birth,[51] and his mother passed away when he was six years old.[52] For most of these first six years, the Prophet ﷺ lived under the care of Ḥalīmah al-Saʿdiyyah ﵂, his foster mother, amidst the Banū Saʿd.[53]

We find: The mother of ‘Uthmān bin Abil-Aas ﵁, Fāṭimah binti ‘Abdillah says: “During the blessed birth of Rasulullah ﷺ, I was with his mother Āminah. I noticed the whole house radiating with nūr (brilliance), and I saw the stars stooping so low I thought they would come crashing down onto me.”[54]
