[Machine] If you had seen me, Qutham, and Ubaydullah ibn al-Abbas playing when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by on a mount, he said, "Bring this to me." He placed me in front of him and then said to Qutham, "Bring this to me." He placed him behind him. Al-Abbas did not hesitate to carry Qutham while leaving Ubaydullah. Then he wiped my head three times, and every time he wiped, he said, "O Allah, provide Ja'far with a successor through his child." I asked Abdullah ibn Ja'far, "What did Qutham do?" He said, "He was martyred." I said to Abdullah, "Allah and His Messenger knew best about what is right." He said, "Yes."
