[Machine] Abu Amr al-Bistami informed us that Abu Bakr al-Ismaili informed us that Abu Ya'la reported to us on the authority of Mus'ab al-Zubairi, who reported on the authority of al-Mughirah bin Abdul Rahman al-Hizami, who reported on the authority of Abdullah bin Sa'id bin Abi Hind, who reported on the authority of Nafi', who reported on the authority of Ibn Umar, that the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , appointed Zaid bin Harithah in the battle of Mu'tah. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "If Zaid is killed, then Ja'far, and if Ja'far is killed, then Abdullah bin Rawahah." Abdullah said, "I was with them in that battle, so we sought Ja'far and found him among the dead. We found about ninety-four wounds and injuries on his body."
