1:
The incident is that, on the occasion of ‘Umrat al-Qada’, there was a dispute between Ja‘far, ‘Ali, and Zayd ibn Harithah (radi Allahu anhum) regarding the guardianship of the daughter of Hamzah (radi Allahu anhu). Each of them asserted his own right. However, because the girl’s maternal aunt was married to Ja‘far (radi Allahu anhu), the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) entrusted the girl to Ja‘far.
