حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ ، وَابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَمْهَلَ آلَ جَعْفَرٍ ثَلَاثًا أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُمْ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُمْ ، فَقَالَ : لَا تَبْكُوا عَلَى أَخِي بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : ادْعُوا لِي بَنِي أَخِي فَجِيءَ بِنَا كَأَنَّا أَفْرُخٌ ، فَقَالَ : ادْعُوا لِي الْحَلَّاقَ ، فَأَمَرَهُ فَحَلَقَ رُءُوسَنَا " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Jafar: The Prophet ﷺ gave the children of Jafar three day' time to visit them. He then came to visit them, and said: Do not weep over my brother after this day. He said: Call to me the children of my brother. We were brought to him as if we were chicken. He said: Call a barber to me. He then ordered and our heads were shaved.
