Shelter for the Orphan Prophet ﷺ

When Abd al-Muttalib died, the orphaned Prophet ﷺ was taken into the household of Abu Talib, who held him dearer than his own children — so that Fatima’s home became the Prophet’s ﷺ refuge in his early years. 2 Seerat-e-Mustafa · Vol 1 · pp. 27 — Idris Kandhlawi — the orphaned Prophet taken into Abu Talib's household after Abd al-Muttalib's death.
