[Machine] "If you had seen me, Qutham, and Ubaidullah ibn al-Abbas when we were children, playing, and then the Messenger of Allah passed by riding a beast. He said, 'Bring this to me.' So he placed me in front of him and said, 'Bring this to Qutham.' So he placed him behind him without being shy of his uncle al-Abbas. And Ubaidullah was more beloved to him than Qutham. Then he wiped my head three times and said, 'O Allah, bless Jafar and his family.' I said, 'What happened to Qutham?' He said, 'He was martyred.' I said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'Yes.'"

[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] 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."
