Hadith 34370
٣٤٣٧٠ - حدثنا عبد الرحيم بن سليمان عن إسماعيل بن أبي خالد عن عامر قال: أخبرت أن النبي ﷺ أرسل إلى امرأة جعفر: "أن ابعثي إليَّ بني جعفر"، قال: فأتي بهم، فقال: "اللهم إن جعفر قد قدم إليك إلى أحسن الثواب، فاخلفه في ذريته بخيرما خلفت عبدًا من عبادك الصالحين" (١).
Hazrat Aamir (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a messenger to the wife of Hazrat Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) asking her to send the sons of Hazrat Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So these children were brought to him. Then the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed as follows: O Allah! Surely Ja'far has come to You towards a good reward. So appoint the best person among his children as his successor, just as You appointed a successor from among Your righteous servants.
