[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an army, led by Zaid ibn Haritha. If Zaid is killed or martyred, then your leader is Jafar. If Jafar is killed or martyred, then your leader is Abdullah ibn Rawaha. They met the enemy, and Zaid took the flag and fought until he was killed. Then Jafar took the flag and fought until he was killed. Then Abdullah ibn Rawaha took the flag and fought until he was killed. Then Khalid ibn Walid took the flag from them and Allah granted him victory. The Prophet ﷺ came out to the people and praised and thanked Allah. He said, "Your brothers have confronted the enemy. Zaid took the flag and fought until he was killed or martyred. Then Jafar ibn Abi Talib took the flag and fought until he was killed or martyred. Then Abdullah ibn Rawaha took the flag and fought until he was killed or martyred. Then Khalid ibn Walid, the Sword of Allah, took the flag and Allah granted him victory." He gave them some time and then he said, "Do not cry for my brother any more. Bring me the sons of my brother." So they brought us as if we were young birds, and he said, "Call the barber for me." So the barber came and shaved our heads. Then he took my hand and raised it, saying, "O Allah, replace Jafar with his family, and bless Abdullah in his trade." He repeated this three times. Then our mother came and mentioned her wishes for him. She made him happy, and he said, "Are you afraid for them while I am their guardian in this world and the Hereafter?"
