Early Life
Birth
<templatestyles src="Hatnote/styles.css"/>
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] Most sources from both groups concur that the Prophet Muḥammad's ﷺ birth occurred in the month of Rabīʿ al-Awwal, the third month of the Islamic lunar calendar, specifically on either the 8th or 12th day (April of 570 CE),[48][49][50] within the household of Abū Ṭālib in Makkah.
Upbringing
<templatestyles src="Hatnote/styles.css"/>
He was suckled by his mother Āminah for a few days, then he was suckled by Thuwaybah ﵂. Then he was suckled by Ḥalīmah.
