[Machine] "If you were to see me, Qutham and 'Ubaidullah ibn 'Abbas, we were children playing when the Prophet ﷺ passed by on an animal. He said, 'Lift this up to me.' So, I carried him in front of him, and he said to Qutham, 'Lift this up to me.' So, he placed him behind him. And 'Ubaidullah was more beloved to 'Abbas than Qutham. So, he felt shy of his uncle and carried Qutham instead. He then wiped his hand over my head three times and said, 'Whenever Allah wipes, let Ja'far be the successor in his child.' I said to 'Abdullah, 'What happened to Qutham?' He said, 'He was martyred.' I said, 'Allah knows best about the good, and His Messenger knows best about the good.' He said, 'Yes.'"
