According to the book 'The Life of Mohammad' by Dr. Mohammad Husein Haikal,
She gave birth to the Prophet's sons Alkasem and Abdullah and to HIS daughters
Zainab, Rucqayya, Om Kalthoum and Fatema.
In a footnote, the author states that there are other claims that the number
of the sons is three or four sons.
Zainab, the eldest, married to Abilaas bin Alrabee bin Abd Shams whose
mother was a sister to Khadija.
Rucqayya and Om Kalthoum married to Otba and Otayyeba, the sons of Abu Lahab.
They have been separated after Islam by ordres from Abu Lahab. Both ladies
have been married to Othoman one after the other (The author does not
mention in which order).
Fatema was still a young girl and married Ali after Islam.
