Answer:
Names of
grandchildren of prophet(saws)
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Allah Subhanah blessed and bestowed the Messenger of Allah
(saws) with a total of seven children: four dauthers and three sons. Six of these seven children were from his
