The Prophet ﷺ had informed the people of the martyrdom of Zaid, Jaʿfar and Ibn Rawaha before the news of their death reached. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Zaid took the flag (as the commander of the army) and was martyred, then Jaʿfar took it and was martyred, and then Ibn Rawaha took it and was martyred." At that time the Prophet's eyes were shedding tears. He added, "Then the flag was taken by a Sword amongst the Swords of Allah (i.e. Khalid) and Allah made them (i.e. the Muslims) victorious."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَعَى زَيْدًا وَجَعْفَرًا وَابْنَ رَوَاحَةَ لِلنَّاسِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُمْ خَبَرُهُمْ فَقَالَ أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ زَيْدٌ فَأُصِيبَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ جَعْفَرٌ فَأُصِيبَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ ابْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَأُصِيبَ وَعَيْنَاهُ تَذْرِفَانِ حَتَّى أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ سَيْفٌ مِنْ سُيُوفِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ

The Prophet ﷺ had informed the people about the death of Zaid, Jaʿfar and Ibn Rawaha before the news of their death reached them. He said with his eyes flowing with tears, "Zaid took the flag and was martyred; then Jaʿfar took the flag and was martyred, and then Ibn Rawaha took the flag and was martyred. Finally the flag was taken by one of Allah's Swords (i.e. Khalid bin Al-Walid) and Allah gave them (i.e. the Muslims) victory."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَعَى زَيْدًا وَجَعْفَرًا وَابْنَ رَوَاحَةَ لِلنَّاسِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُمْ خَبَرُهُمْ فَقَالَ أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ زَيْدٌ فَأُصِيبَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ جَعْفَرٌ فَأُصِيبَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ ابْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَأُصِيبَ وَعَيْنَاهُ تَذْرِفَانِ حَتَّى أَخَذَ سَيْفٌ مِنْ سُيُوفِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Zaid, Jafar, and Abdullah ibn Rawahah, and he entrusted the flag to Zaid, so they were all injured. Anas said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ praised them to the people before the news reached him." He said, "Zaid took the flag and was injured, then Jafar took it and was injured, then Abdullah ibn Rawahah took it and was injured, then the flag was taken by Khalid ibn Walid with one of Allah's swords." He said, "So he started narrating to the people and his eyes were shedding tears."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ زَيْدًا وَجَعْفَرًا وَعَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ وَدَفَعَ الرَّايَةَ إِلَى زَيْدٍ فَأُصِيبُوا جَمِيعًا قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَنَعَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى النَّاسِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَجِيءَ الْخَبَرُ قَالَ أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ زَيْدٌ فَأُصِيبَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ جَعْفَرٌ فَأُصِيبَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَأُصِيبَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ بَعْدُ سَيْفٌ مِنْ سُيُوفِ اللهِ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ وَعَيْنَاهُ تَذْرِفَانِ
