Strengthening the Ummah

I conceived `Abdullah bin AzZubair at Mecca and went out (of Mecca) while I was about to give
birth. I came to Medina and encamped at Quba', and gave birth at Quba'. Then I brought the child to
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and placed it (on his lap). He asked for a date, chewed it, and put his saliva in the
mouth of the child. So the first thing to enter its stomach was the saliva of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Then he
did its Tahnik with a date, and invoked Allah to bless him. It was the first child born in the Islamic
era, therefore they (Muslims) were very happy with its birth, for it had been said to them that the Jews
had bewitched them, and so they would not produce any offspring.
