The Holy Quran 93:6 — Surah Ad-Duhaa

Arabic text

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔاوَىٰ

Translation

(Allaah shall continue to bless you with His bounties just as He did in the past. For example,) Did He not find you orphaned (when your father passed away before your birth and your mother when you were only six) and grant you shelter (when your grandfather and uncle cared for you with great affection afterwards)?

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The orphanhood of the Prophet ﷺ: the father of the Prophet ﷺ had already died before his blessed birth; he was six years old when his mother passed away. Then, until the age of eight, he remained in the care of his grandfather (Abd al-Muttalib).
