[Machine] I was playing with Qutham and Ubaidullah when the Prophet ﷺ came and said, "Carry this." Then he said, "Carry this." Qutham carried it behind him without feeling ashamed before his uncle Abbas. And Ubaidullah was more beloved to Abbas than Qutham, so he wiped his head three times and said, "O Allah, make Jafar succeed in his offspring." I asked, "What happened to Qutham?" He said, "He was martyred." I said, "Allah and His Messenger knew best." He said, "Indeed."

[Machine] "If you were to see me, Qutham and 'Ubaidullah ibn 'Abbas, we were children playing when the Prophet ﷺ passed by on an animal. He said, 'Lift this up to me.' So, I carried him in front of him, and he said to Qutham, 'Lift this up to me.' So, he placed him behind him. And 'Ubaidullah was more beloved to 'Abbas than Qutham. So, he felt shy of his uncle and carried Qutham instead. He then wiped his hand over my head three times and said, 'Whenever Allah wipes, let Ja'far be the successor in his child.' I said to 'Abdullah, 'What happened to Qutham?' He said, 'He was martyred.' I said, 'Allah knows best about the good, and His Messenger knows best about the good.' He said, 'Yes.'"

[Machine] "If you had seen me, Qatham and Ubaidullah ibn Abbas playing when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by on a mount, and he said, 'Bring this to me.' He made me stand in front of him, and then he said to Qatham, 'Bring this to me.' He made him stand behind him. Abbas, his uncle, was too shy to carry Qatham, so he left him and wiped my head three times. When he finished wiping, he said, 'O Allah, replace Jafar with him in his offspring.' I asked Abdullah ibn Jafar, 'What happened to Qatham?' He said, 'He was martyred.' I said to Abdullah, 'Allah and His Messenger knew better about his news.' He said, 'Yes.'"
