عبد الله بن محمد
The Prophet's son from Khadijah, also called al-Tayyib and al-Tahir, who died in infancy.
Biography
Abdullah was born to Khadijah in Makkah; sources say he was also known as al-Tayyib and al-Tahir (some genealogists considered these separate sons, but most say they are titles of Abdullah). He died as an infant.
Many exegetes connect Surah al-Kawthar ('indeed your enemy is the one cut off', 108:3) to the mockery of Quraysh after the deaths of his sons.

Engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza's perspective
Methodological note (not a direct quote): Engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza's widely known approach is to build narratives primarily on the Quran and Sahih Hadith, to set aside Israiliyat (Judeo-Christian lore absorbed into later tafsir) and weak or fabricated narrations, and to avoid sectarian framing. Applied to this node: Sirah data; the identity of al-Tayyib and al-Tahir is noted as a genealogists' difference.
