# Khadija and Abu Talib die in the received Year of Sorrow, stripping Muhammad's Meccan cover

Date: 619

## The fact

Around 619 CE later sira groups the deaths of Khadija and Abu Talib as a Year of Sorrow. The year is conventional. The double loss is a received turning of Meccan cover, not a statute. Muhammad's documented role is: He lost wife and uncle in the same received year. Their deaths are not his policy; they remove his Meccan cover.

## Context

Khadija had been first hearer and patron. Abu Talib had been clan shield. Sharing those roles with them is required. A later mosque door is still not a likeness. The setting of Khadija and Abu Talib die in the received Year of Sorrow, stripping Muhammad's Meccan cover is the public file around 0619-01-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [social-cohesion](/drivers/social-cohesion) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

The attached driver is social-cohesion. The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
