Haarith returned to Makkah Mukarramah and gave ‘Abdul Muttalib and the other relatives the news of this unexpected tragedy. On hearing this news, they all fell into a state of grief and sorrow.

Qays ibn Makhramah narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was still in his mother’s womb when his father, ‘Abdullah, passed away. At the time of his death, ‘Abdullah was – according to conflicting reports – either thirty, twenty five, twenty eight or eighteen years old. Haafiz ‘Alaa’ie (rahimahullah) and Hafiz ‘Asqalaani (rahimahullah) say that the correct view is that ‘Abdullah was eighteen years old at the time of his demise.

On his demise, ‘Abdullah’s estate consisted of five camels, a few goats and a slave by the name of Barakah with the title of Umme Ayman.
