Answer: False

He is generally accepted to have had three sons and four daughters. The sons were Al-Qasim, Abd-Allah and Ibrahim; the daughters were Zaynab, Ruqayah, Om-Kolthoom and Fatimah. Six of them were from Khadija bint Khuwaylid and the last one, Ibrahim, was from Maria Al-Qabtiyya. They all died before the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) did, except for Fatimah and Zaynab.

It should be noted that Sunni accept all seven as the children of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him), but most Shia consider three of the girls to have been born to Khadija before her marriage to the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him), and only consider Fatimah to be his biological daughter.
