[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an army, led by Zaid ibn Haritha. If Zaid is killed or martyred, then your leader is Jafar. If Jafar is killed or martyred, then your leader is Abdullah ibn Rawaha. They met the enemy, and Zaid took the flag and fought until he was killed. Then Jafar took the flag and fought until he was killed. Then Abdullah ibn Rawaha took the flag and fought until he was killed. Then Khalid ibn Walid took the flag from them and Allah granted him victory. The Prophet ﷺ came out to the people and praised and thanked Allah. He said, "Your brothers have confronted the enemy. Zaid took the flag and fought until he was killed or martyred. Then Jafar ibn Abi Talib took the flag and fought until he was killed or martyred. Then Abdullah ibn Rawaha took the flag and fought until he was killed or martyred. Then Khalid ibn Walid, the Sword of Allah, took the flag and Allah granted him victory." He gave them some time and then he said, "Do not cry for my brother any more. Bring me the sons of my brother." So they brought us as if we were young birds, and he said, "Call the barber for me." So the barber came and shaved our heads. Then he took my hand and raised it, saying, "O Allah, replace Jafar with his family, and bless Abdullah in his trade." He repeated this three times. Then our mother came and mentioned her wishes for him. She made him happy, and he said, "Are you afraid for them while I am their guardian in this world and the Hereafter?"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah sent out an army and appointed Zaid bin Haritha as their leader. He said, "If he is killed or martyred, then your leader will be Ja'far bin Abi Talib. If he is killed or martyred, then your leader will be Abdullah bin Rawaha." So they set out and met the enemy, and Zaid bin Haritha took the flag and fought until he was killed. Then Ja'far bin Abi Talib took the flag and fought until he was killed. Then Abdullah bin Rawaha took the flag and fought until he was killed or martyred. Then Khalid bin al-Walid took the flag and Allah granted him victory. Then the news reached the Prophet and he came down from the pulpit praising and thanking Allah. He then said, "After that, your brothers met the enemy. Zaid bin Haritha took the flag and fought until he was killed or martyred. Then Ja'far bin Abi Talib took the flag and fought until he was killed or martyred. Then Abdullah bin Rawaha took the flag and fought until he was killed or martyred. Then Khalid bin al-Walid took the flag and Allah granted him victory." Then the family of Ja'far was given a respite of three days. They were then brought before the Prophet and he said, "Do not cry for him after today." He then said, "Pray for my cousins." So they brought a razor and he ordered them to shave their heads. Then he said, "As for Muhammad, he resembles our father, Abi Talib, and as for the helper, Abdullah, he resembles me in appearance and character." Then he took my hand and shaked it, saying, "O Allah, replace Ja'far with his family and bless Abdullah in his right hand deal." He repeated this three times. Our mother then came and mentioned her wish, so the Messenger of Allah said, "The family are concerned about them, but I am their guardian in this world and the Hereafter."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an army and appointed Zaid bin Harithah over them. He said, "If he is killed or martyred, then your leader is Ja'far bin Abi Talib. If he is killed or martyred, then your leader is Abdullah bin Rawahah." So they set out and encountered the enemy. Zaid bin Harithah took the flag and fought until he was killed, then Ja'far bin Abi Talib took the flag and fought until he was killed, then Abdullah bin Rawahah took the flag and fought until he was killed. Then Khalid bin Al-Walid took the flag and Allah granted him victory. The news reached the Prophet ﷺ who came out, praised and thanked Allah, and then said, "As for Zaid bin Harithah, he fought until he was killed or martyred. Then Ja'far fought until he was killed or martyred. Then Abdullah bin Rawahah fought until he was killed or martyred. Then the flag was taken by a sword from the swords of Allah, Khalid bin Al-Walid, and Allah granted him victory." Then the family of Ja'far were given a respite of three days. Then he (the Prophet) came to them and said, "Do not mourn for him after this day." Then he said, "Bring my relatives to me." So we were brought as if we were terrified birds, and he said, "Shave their heads for me." So he commanded and our heads were shaved. Then he said, "As for Muhammad, he resembles our father, Abu Talib. And as for Ali, he resembles my creation and manners." Then he took my hand and raised it, and said, "O Allah, bless Ja'far's family and bless Abdullah's right-hand deal." He repeated this three times. Then our mother came and he remembered that she desired something. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The family is apprehensive for them, but I am their guardian in this world and the Hereafter."
