From the Chapter: The Household
"As well as being a wife, Khadijah was also a friend to her husband, the sharer of his inclinations and ideals to a remarkable degree".
They had six children , two sons and four daughters:
Qasim (died before his second birthday)
Zaynab
Ruqayyah (married the nephew of Khadijah , Abu I-'As, )
Umm Kulthum
Fatimah
Abd Allah (died as a baby)
Khadijah gave Zayd to Muhammad as a gift. Zayd later became the adopted son of Muhammad. Ali the son of Abu Talib came to live in the household also.
Abu Sufyan (son of Harith), his cousin became one of his closest friends and companion.
Barakah (Umm Ayman), the slave that was with Muhammad when his mother died returned to live with Muhammad. Muhammad sometimes called her "mother".
