Qurʾān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn al-Adab al-Mufrad al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Bukhārī Muslim Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Nasāʾī Ibn Mājah Dārimī Aḥmad Mālik Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī
bukhari:4260 – Aḥmad > 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:٤٢٦٠ – حَدَّثَنَا 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
