[ حُزْنُ الرَّسُولِ عَلَى جَعْفَرٍ وَوِصَايَتُهُ بِآلِهِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ أُمِّ عِيسَى الْخُزَاعِيَّةِ عَنْ أُمِّ جَعْفَرِ بِنْتِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهَا أَسَمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ، قَالَتْ: لَمَّا أُصِيبَ جَعْفَرٌ وَأَصْحَابُهُ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ دَبَغْتُ أَرْبَعِينَ مَنًا. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَيُرْوَى أَرْبَعِينَ مَنِيئَةً وَعَجَنْتُ عَجِينِي، وَغَسَلْتُ بَنِيَّ وَدَهَنْتهمْ وَنَظَّفْتهمْ. قَالَتْ: فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: ائْتِينِي بِبَنِي جَعْفَرٍ ؟ قَالَتْ: فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهِمْ، فَتَشَمَّمَهُمْ وَذَرَفَتْ عَيْنَاهُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. بِأَبِي أَنْتُ وَأُمِّي مَا يُبْكِيكَ ؟ أَبَلَغَكَ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ وَأَصْحَابِهِ شَيْءٌ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، أُصِيبُوا هَذَا الْيَوْمَ. قَالَتْ: فَقُمْتُ أَصِيحُ وَاجْتَمَعَتْ إلَيَّ النِّسَاءُ، وَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إلَى أَهْلِهِ. فَقَالَ: لَا تُغْفِلُوا آلَ جَعْفَرٍ مِنْ أَنْ تَصْنَعُوا لَهُمْ طَعَامًا، فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ شُغِلُوا بِأَمْرِ صَاحِبِهِمْ وَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ: لَمَّا أَتَى نَعْيُ جَعْفَرٍ عَرَفْنَا فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْحُزْنَ قَالَتْ: فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إنَّ النِّسَاءَ عَنَّيْنَنَا وَفَتَنَّنَا ؟ قَالَ: فَارْجِعْ إلَيْهِنَّ فَأَسْكِتْهُنَّ. قَالَتْ: فَذَهَبَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ: تَقُولُ وَرُبَّمَا ضَرَّ التَّكَلُّفُ أَهْلَهُ قَالَتْ: قَالَ: فَاذْهَبْ فَأَسْكِتْهُنَّ، فَإِنْ أَبَيْنَ فَاحْثُ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِنَّ التُّرَابَ قَالَتْ: وَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي: أَبْعَدَكَ اللَّهُ فَوَاَللَّهِ مَا تَرَكْتَ نَفْسَكَ وَمَا أَنْتَ بِمُطِيعٍ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ. قَالَتْ: وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى أَنْ يَحْثِيَ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِنَّ التُّرَابَ
Translation
✧ [ The Messenger's grief over Jaʿfar and his instruction concerning his family ] Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿAbd Allāh b. Abī Bakr narrated to me from Umm ʿĪsā al-Khuzāʿiyyah from Umm Jaʿfar bt. Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar b. Abī Ṭālib, from her grandmother Asmāʾ bt. ʿUmays, who said: When Jaʿfar and his companions were struck down, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came in to me after I had tanned forty mann. Ibn Hishām said: It is also narrated "forty manīʾah," and I had kneaded my dough, washed my children, anointed them, and cleaned them. She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "Bring me the children of Jaʿfar." She said: I brought them to him, and he sniffed them and his eyes overflowed. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be your ransom, what makes you weep? Has something reached you about Jaʿfar and his companions?" He said, "Yes, they were struck down this day." She said: I stood up crying out, and the women gathered around me. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to his family and said, "Do not neglect the family of Jaʿfar in preparing food for them, for they have been occupied with the affair of their companion." And ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. al-Qāsim b. Muḥammad narrated to me from his father, from ʿĀʾishah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, who said: When the news of Jaʿfar's death came, we recognized sadness in the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said: A man entered upon him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, the women have distressed us and tempted us." He said, "Return to them and silence them." She said: He went away, then came back and said the same to him. He said, "You say—and maybe pretension harms its people." She said: He said, "Go and silence them; if they refuse, then throw dust into their mouths." She said: I said to myself, "May Allah distance you! By Allah, you have not spared yourself, and you are not obeying the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." She said: And I knew that he would not be able to throw dust into their mouths.
