عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: لَمَّا جَاءَ نَعْيُ جَعْفَرٍ حِينَ قُتِلَ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((اصْنَعُوا لِآلِ جَعْفَرٍ طَعَامًا، فَقَدْ أَتَاهُمْ أَمْرٌ يَشْغَلُهُمْ أَوْ أَتَاهُمْ مَا يَشْغَلُهُمْ))
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with them both) reports that when the news of the martyrdom of Sayyiduna Ja'far bin Abi Talib came, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Prepare food for the family of Ja'far, for such news has come to them that has preoccupied them.
