حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي هِلَالٍ ، قَالَ : وَأَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ، أَخْبَرَهُ " أَنَّهُ وَقَفَ عَلَى جَعْفَرٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَهُوَ قَتِيلٌ ، فَعَدَدْتُ بِهِ خَمْسِينَ بَيْنَ طَعْنَةٍ وَضَرْبَةٍ لَيْسَ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فِي دُبُرِهِ " يَعْنِي : فِي ظَهْرِهِ .
Narrated Nafi`: Ibn `Umar informed me that on the day (of Mu'tah) he stood beside Ja`far who was dead (i.e. killed in the battle), and he counted fifty wounds in his body, caused by stabs or strokes, and none of those wounds was in his back.

Hadith Commentary:
Ja'far al-Tayyar (radi Allahu anhu) is among those brave individuals of Islam whom the Muslim Ummah will always take pride in.
The absence of any wound on his back means that, in battle, he remained steadfast facing the enemy until the end; not even the thought of turning his back and fleeing crossed his mind.
He was the son of Abu Talib. After his martyrdom, Allah granted him two wings in Paradise, with which he flies freely in Paradise.
For this reason, his title became "al-Tayyar" (the Flyer), radi Allahu anhu wa ardah.
Mu'tah was the name of a place in the region of al-Sham (Greater Syria).

Hadith Commentary:
➊
Ja'far al-Tayyar (radi Allahu anhu) is among those brave individuals of Islam whom the Muslim Ummah will always take pride in.
The absence of any wound on his back is an indication that he remained steadfast, facing the enemy until the very end, and did not even entertain the thought of turning his back and fleeing.
➋
In the following narration, there is mention of ninety wounds; there is no contradiction or opposition between these reports.
This is because fifty wounds were on the front part of his body, and the ninety wounds would be on the entire body; or, fifty wounds were from spears and swords, and the ninety wounds were from arrows and the like. Furthermore, specifying a particular number does not negate the possibility of there being more.
And Allah knows best. (Fath al-Bari: 7/641)
