'''Lady Fatima (a)''': It is said she was the youngest daughter of Prophet Muhammad (s). According to [[Shi'a]] sources, she was born five years after [[Bi'that]] and [[Sunni]] sources believe she was born five years before Bi'that. [[Lady Fatima (a)]] married [['Ali b. Abi Talib (a)]] and she was one of the five members of [[Ashab al-Kisa']] (Companions of the Cloak). According to [[Twelver]] Shi'a, she is one of the [[Fourteen Infallibles]]. The [[Imam al-Hasan (a)|second]] and the [[Imam Al-Husayn (a)|third]] Twelver Imams (a) were children of Fatima (a) as well. A large number of Shi'a scholars believe the term [[Al-Kawthar]] stated in [[Sura]] [[Al-Kawthar]] in [[Holy Quran]] refers to Lady Fatima (a), as Prophet Muhammad's (s) lineage continued by Lady Fatima (a) and her children were chosen as Imams.

The majority of sources stated that Prophet Muhammad (s) had three sons: Qasim, 'Abd Allah and Ibrahim. However some sources stated that Tayyib and Tahir which were titles of 'Abd Allah, were actually the names of other sons of Prophet Muhammad (s). It is clearly stated that it was only a mistake in some sources.

All the three sons of Prophet Muhammad (s) passed away in their young ages. After the demise of 'Abd Allah, or as some sources stated after the demise of Qasim, 'As b. Wa'il called Prophet (s) Abtar (a person without a progeny or offspring) as he had no sons, which led to Revelation of Sura Al-Kawthar.
