Hadith 2427
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عُلَيَّةَ ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ الشَّهِيدِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ لِابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ : " أَتَذْكُرُ إِذْ تَلَقَّيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَا ، وَأَنْتَ ، وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، فَحَمَلَنَا وَتَرَكَكَ " .
Abdullah bin Abu Mulaikah reported that'Abdullah bin Jafar said to Ibn Zubair: Do you remember (the occasion) when we three (i. e. I, you and ibn 'Abbas) met Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he mounted us (on his camel) but left you? He said: Yes.

Hadith Commentary:
Hafiz Sahib (rahimahullah) states:
It is apparent that the one who was made to ride was Abdullah ibn Ja'far (radi Allahu anhu), and the one who was left aside was Ibn al-Zubayr (radi Allahu anhu).
However, in Sahih Muslim, the opposite is mentioned:
And Qadi Iyad (rahimahullah) has pointed out that the narration found in al-Bukhari is the correct one.
From this, it is established that it is permissible for those returning from jihad to be welcomed by others who go out to meet them.
Additionally, it is also established from this that special care should be shown to orphans.
Because Abdullah's (radi Allahu anhu) father, Ja'far ibn Abi Talib (radi Allahu anhu), had passed away.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) gave precedence to the orphaned child, Abdullah (radi Allahu anhu), by making him ride in order to gladden his heart. If the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) ever showed special favor to a Companion in any matter, then it is also established that it is permissible for that Companion to take pride in it. Even today, if a distinguished person shows favor to someone, it can be mentioned as a matter of pride.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
It is understood from this hadith that welcoming someone returning from jihad, Hajj, or any other journey with happiness and joy is commendable.
➋
From a narration in Sahih Muslim, it is understood that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) seated Abdullah ibn Zubair (radi Allahu anhu) and Abdullah ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) with him, and left out Abdullah ibn Ja'far (radi Allahu anhu).
(Sahih al-Bukhari, al-‘Umrah, Hadith: 1798)
This is a mistake on the part of the narrator.
The hadith of Sahih Bukhari is more authoritative. Furthermore, according to another narration, Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) states that when the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) arrived in Makkah, the children of the family of Abdul Muttalib welcomed him.
He seated one in front of him and the other behind him.
(Sahih Muslim, Fada’il al-Sahabah, Hadith: 6266(2427))
From this, it is understood that Abdullah ibn Ja'far (radi Allahu anhu) was also mounted by him.
Ibn Ja'far is from the family of Abdul Muttalib.
