عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَيْشًا اسْتَعْمَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ زَيْدَ بْنَ حَارِثَةَ وَقَالَ {فَإِنْ قُتِلَ زَيْدٌ أَوِ اسْتُشْهِدَ فَأَمِيرُكُمْ جَعْفَرٌ فَإِنْ قُتِلَ أَوِ اسْتُشْهِدَ فَأَمِيرُكُمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ} فَلَقُوا الْعَدُوَّ فَأَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ زَيْدٌ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ جَعْفَرٌ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ فَفَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَتَى خَبَرُهُمُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَخَرَجَ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ {إِنَّ إِخْوَانَكُمْ لَقُوا الْعَدُوَّ وَإِنَّ زَيْدًا أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ أَوِ اسْتُشْهِدَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ بَعْدَهُ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ أَوِ اسْتُشْهِدَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ أَوِ اسْتُشْهِدَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ سَيْفٌ مِنْ سُيُوفِ اللَّهِ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ فَفَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ} فَأَمْهَلَ ثُمَّ أَمْهَلَ آلَ جَعْفَرٍ ثَلَاثًا أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُمْ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُمْ فَقَالَ {لَا تَبْكُوا عَلَى أَخِي بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ أَوْ غَدٍ ادْعُوا لِي ابْنَيْ أَخِي} قَالَ فَجِيءَ بِنَا كَأَنَّا أَفْرُخٌ فَقَالَ {ادْعُوا إِلَيَّ الْحَلَّاقَ} فَجِيءَ بِالْحَلَّاقِ فَحَلَقَ رُءُوسَنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ {أَمَّا مُحَمَّدٌ فَشَبِيهُ عَمِّنَا أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَأَمَّا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَشَبِيهُ خَلْقِي وَخُلُقِي} ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَأَشَالَهَا فَقَالَ {اللَّهُمَّ اخْلُفْ جَعْفَرًا فِي أَهْلِهِ وَبَارِكْ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِي صَفْقَةِ يَمِينِهِ} قَالَهَا ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ قَالَ فَجَاءَتْ أُمُّنَا فَذَكَرَتْ لَهُ يُتْمَنَا وَجَعَلَتْ تُفْرِحُ لَهُ فَقَالَ {الْعَيْلَةَ تَخَافِينَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَنَا وَلِيُّهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ}
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Ja'far that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sent out an army and appointed Zaid bin Harithah, may Allah be pleased with him, as their commander. He said, "If Zaid, may Allah be pleased with him, is martyred, then Ja'far bin Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, will be your commander. If he is also martyred, then Abdullah bin Rawahah, may Allah be pleased with him, will be your commander." The Muslims confronted the enemy. Zaid, may Allah be pleased with him, took up the flag and fought the enemy until he was martyred. After him, Ja'far, may Allah be pleased with him, took the flag and he too fought the enemy until he was martyred. After him, Abdullah bin Rawahah, may Allah be pleased with him, took up the flag and he too fought the enemy until he attained martyrdom. After them, Khalid bin Walid, may Allah be pleased with him, took up the flag, and Allah granted victory at his hands. News of this reached the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. He came out to the people, and after praising and glorifying Allah, he said, "Your brothers confronted the enemy. First, Zaid took up the flag and fought until he was martyred. After him, Ja'far bin Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, took up the flag and he too fought until he was martyred. After him, Abdullah bin Rawahah, may Allah be pleased with him, took up the flag and he too attained the rank of martyrdom. After them, one of Allah's swords, Khalid bin Walid, may Allah be pleased with him, took up the flag and Allah granted victory at his hands." The family of Ja'far waited for three days hoping that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would visit them. After the third day, he visited them and said, "Do not weep for my brother after today. Call my nephews to me." We were brought to him, and we were as small as chicks. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Call the barber." The barber was called and he shaved our heads. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "This Muhammad resembles our uncle Abu Talib, and Abdullah resembles me in appearance and temperament." Then he took my hand, raised it, and said, "O Allah, appoint him as a successor among the family of Ja'far, and bless Abdullah in his trade." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, made this supplication three times. Our mother came to him and expressed that these children are now without support. He said, "Do you fear poverty for them? I am their guardian in this world and the Hereafter."
