عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فِي قِصَّةِ مَوْتِ زَوْجِهَا جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ: ((لَا تُغْفِلُوا آلَ جَعْفَرٍ مِنْ أَنْ تَصْنَعُوا لَهُمْ طَعَامًا فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ شُغِلُوا بِأَمْرِ صَاحِبِهِمْ))
Sayyida Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her), while mentioning the death of her husband Sayyiduna Ja'far ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), says that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his family: "Do not neglect to prepare food for the family of Ja'far, for they are occupied due to (the martyrdom of) their head."
