[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ appointed Zaid bin Harithah for the Battle of Mu'tah and said, "If Zaid is killed, then Ja'far will take charge. And if Ja'far is killed, then Abdullah bin Rawahah will lead." Abdullah narrated, "I was with them in that battle, and we were searching for Ja'far. We found that his body had received ninety-nine wounds from stabbing and throwing."
أَمَّرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ مُؤْتَةَ زَيْدَ بْنَ حَارِثَةَ وَقَالَ «إِنْ قُتِلَ زَيْدٌ فَجَعْفَرٌ فَإِنْ قُتِلَ جَعْفَرٌ فَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ» قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «فَكُنْتُ مَعَهُمْ فِي تِلْكَ الْغَزْوَةِ فَالْتَمَسْنَا جَعْفَرًا فَوَجَدْنَا مَا قَبِلَ مِنْ جِسْمِهِ بِضْعًا وَتِسْعِينَ بَيْنَ طَعْنَةٍ وَرَمْيَةٍ»
