Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 10218

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ : بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - جَيْشًا اسْتَعْمَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ زَيْدَ بْنَ حَارِثَةَ : " فَإِنْ قُتِلَ زَيْدٌ أَوِ اسْتُشْهِدَ فَأَمِيرُكُمْ جَعْفَرٌ فَإِنْ قُتِلَ أَوِ اسْتُشْهِدَ فَأَمِيرُكُمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ " .
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 وَسَلَّمَ - فَخَرَجَ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ : " إِنَّ إِخْوَانَكُمْ لَقَوُا 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 بَعْدِ الْيَوْمِ ، ادْعُوا لِي ابْنَيْ أَخِي " قَالَ : فَجِيءَ بِنَا كَأَنَّنَا أَفْرُخٌ ، قَالَ : " ادْعُوا لِي الْحَلَّاقَ " ، فَجِيءَ بِالْحَلَّاقِ فَحَلَقَ رُؤُوسَنَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " أَمَّا مُحَمَّدٌ فَشَبِيهُ عَمِّنَا أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، وَأَمَّا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَشَبِيهُ خَلْقِي وَخُلُقِي " .
ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَأَشَالَهُمَا فَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ اخْلُفْ جَعْفَرًا فِي أَهْلِهِ ، وَبَارِكْ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِي صَفْقَةِ يَمِينِهِ " . قَالَهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ : فَجَاءَتْ أُمُّنَا فَذَكَرَتْ يُتْمَنَا [ وَجَعَلَتْ تَفْرَحُ ] ، فَقَالَ : " الْعَيْلَةَ تَخَافِينَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَنَا وَلِيُّهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ؟ ! " .
قُلْتُ : رَوَى أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَغَيْرُهُ بَعْضَهُ . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَرِجَالُهُمَا رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dispatched an expedition and appointed Sayyiduna Zayd bin Harithah (may Allah be pleased with him) as their commander, and said: "If Zayd is killed (the narrator is unsure; perhaps the words are) is martyred, then your commander will be Ja'far; if he is killed (the narrator is unsure; perhaps the words are) if he is martyred, then your commander will be Abdullah bin Rawahah." They met the enemy, and Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) took hold of the banner and fought until he was martyred. Then Sayyiduna Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) took the banner and kept fighting until he was martyred. Then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with him) took it and kept fighting until he was martyred. Then Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) took the banner, and Allah Almighty granted him victory. News of them reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to the people, and after praising and extolling Allah Almighty, he said: "Indeed, your brothers met the enemy. Zayd took the banner and fought until he was killed (the narrator is unsure; or perhaps the words are) he was martyred. Then after him Ja'far bin Abi Talib took the banner and fought until he was killed (the narrator is unsure; or perhaps the words are) he was martyred. Then Abdullah bin Rawahah took the banner and fought until he was killed (the narrator is unsure; or perhaps the words are) he was martyred. Then one of the swords of Allah, Khalid bin al-Walid, took that banner, and Allah Almighty granted him victory." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the family of Ja'far a respite of three days. After three days he came to them and said: "After today, do not weep over my brother. Bring my nephews to me." The narrator says: We were brought, and we were small children. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Call the barber and bring him to me." The barber was brought, and he shaved our heads. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "As for Muhammad (bin Ja'far), he resembles our uncle Abu Talib, and as for Abdullah (bin Ja'far), he resembles me in outward appearance and in character." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took my hand, raised both my hands and supplicated: "O Allah, be the guardian of Ja'far's family after him, and place blessing in Abdullah's trading." He made this supplication three times. The narrator says: Our mother came and mentioned our orphanhood and expressed her grief about it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you fear poverty and want for them? I am their guardian in this world and the Hereafter." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Abu Dawud and others have recorded part of it.
Ahmad and al-Tabarani recorded it, and the narrators of both are the narrators of the Sahih.
