hakim:1379ʿAlī b. Ḥamshādh al-ʿAdl > al-Ḥārith b. Abū Usāmah > Rawḥ b. ʿUbādah > Ibn Jurayj > Jaʿfar b. Khālid from his father > ʿAbdullāh b. Jaʿfar

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wiped his hand on my head and said, "I think he said it three times. After wiping, he said, 'O Allah, bless Jafar in his children.' Jafar ibn Khalid brought two valuable things, one of which was wiping the head of the orphan, and the other was checking on the people affected by the calamity with what they needed for their night. 'And Allah guided us to use it on their behalf.'"  

الحاكم:١٣٧٩حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَمْشَاذَ الْعَدْلُ ثنا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ أَنَّ رَوْحَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ

مَسَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى رَأْسِي قَالَ أَظُنُّهُ قَالَ ثَلَاثًا فَلَمَّا مَسَحَ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ اخْلُفْ جَعْفَرًا فِي وَلَدِهِ» قَدْ أَتَى جَعْفَرُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ بِشَيْئَيْنِ عَزِيزَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا مَسْحُ رَأْسِ الْيَتِيمِ وَالْآخَرُ تَفَقُّدُ أَهْلِ الْمُصِيبَةِ بِمَا يَتَقَوَّتُونَ لَيْلَتَهُمْ «وَفَّقَنَا اللَّهُ لِاسْتِعْمَالِهِ عَنْهُ»
