On the other hand, al-Tabari also wrote that i.e. "All four of his [Abu Bakr’s] children were born of his two wives -- the names of whom we have already mentioned -- during the pre-Islamic period." (Tarikhu'l-umam wa'l-mamlu'k, Al-Tabari, vol.4, (Account of Luhrasb) p.50, Arabic, Dara'l-fikr, Beirut, 1979. al-Tabari vol.11 (A.H 13) p.141 also mentions this, with footnote 766 saying al-Tabari has a conflict here.
Kwa upande mwingine, al-Tabari pia aliandika kuwa "Watoto wake [Abu Bakr] wote wanne walizaliwa na wake zake wawili – majina yake ambayo tumeisha yaelezea – wakati wa kipindi cha kabla ya Uislam." (Tarikh’l-umam wa’l-mamlu’k, Al-Tabari, juzuu ya 4, uk.50, Kiarabu, Dara’l-fikr, Beirut, 1979. al-Tabari juzuu ya 11 uk.141 pia inaelezea jambo hili, huku rejeo la 766 chini ya ukurasa likiwa linasema al-Tabari alikuwa na mgogoro hapa.
