الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ مَوْلَى الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ
[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."
