I asked Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) about the children of the Prophets (AS). He replied, “They are not like the children of other people.” The reporter sys: I asked him about Ibrahim, son of the Messenger of Allah (SA), that had he lived, would he have become a truthful one [siddiq]? He (AS) answered, “If he had lived, he would have followed in the footsteps of his father (SA).”
