Qurʾān Bukhārī Muslim Nasāʾī Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Ibn Mājah Mālik Aḥmad Dārimī Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī
bukhari:3757 – Aḥmad b. Wāqid > Ḥammād b. Zayd > Ayyūb > Ḥumayd b. Hilāl > Anas

The Prophet ﷺ had informed the people about the death of Zaid, Jaʿfar and Ibn Rawaha before the news of their death reached them. He said with his eyes flowing with tears, "Zaid took the flag and was martyred; then Jaʿfar took the flag and was martyred, and then Ibn Rawaha took the flag and was martyred. Finally the flag was taken by one of Allah's Swords (i.e. Khalid bin Al-Walid) and Allah gave them (i.e. the Muslims) victory."  

البخاري:٣٧٥٧ – حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَعَى زَيْدًا وَجَعْفَرًا وَابْنَ رَوَاحَةَ لِلنَّاسِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُمْ خَبَرُهُمْ فَقَالَ أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ زَيْدٌ فَأُصِيبَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ جَعْفَرٌ فَأُصِيبَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ ابْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَأُصِيبَ وَعَيْنَاهُ تَذْرِفَانِ حَتَّى أَخَذَ سَيْفٌ مِنْ سُيُوفِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ

" عن أنسٍ: أن رسولَ الله ﷺ بعث زيدًا، (وجعفرًا) وعبد الله

ابن رواحةَ، فدفع الرَّايةَ إلى زيدٍ، فأُصيبُوا جَميعًا. قالَ أنسٌ: فنعاهم رسولُ الله ﷺ إلى الناسِ قبل أن يجئَ الخبرُ. قالَ: أخذ الرايةَ زيدٌ فأُصيبَ، ثم أخذَها جعفرٌ فأُصِيبَ، ثم أخذها عبدُ الله فأصيبَ، ثم أخذَ إلى الراية بعدُ سيفٌ من سيوفِ الله خالدُ بنُ الوليدِ، فجعلَ يحدثُ الناس وعيناهُ تَذرِفَان ".
