bukhari:4260Aḥmad > Ibn Wahb > ʿAmr > Ibn Abū Hilāl > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

Ibn ʿUmar informed me that on the day (of Mu'tah) he stood beside Jaʿfar who was dead (i.e. killed in the battle), and he counted fifty wounds in his body, caused by stabs or strokes, and none of those wounds was in his back.  

البخاري:٤٢٦٠حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي هِلاَلٍ قَالَ وَأَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ وَقَفَ عَلَى جَعْفَرٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَهْوَ قَتِيلٌ فَعَدَدْتُ بِهِ خَمْسِينَ بَيْنَ طَعْنَةٍ وَضَرْبَةٍ لَيْسَ مِنْهَا شَىْءٌ فِي دُبُرِهِ يَعْنِي فِي ظَهْرِهِ
