The Messenger's grief for Jaʿfar and his instructions regarding his family
[ 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 قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَدْ كَانَ قُطْبَةُ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ الْعُذْرِيُّ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلَى مَيْمَنَةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، قَدْ حَمَلَ عَلَى مَالِكِ بْنِ زَافِلَةَ فَقَتَلَهُ، فَقَالَ قُطْبَةُ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ: طَعَنْتُ ابْنَ زَافِلَةَ بْنِ الْإِرَا شِ بِرُمْحٍ مَضَى فِيهِ ثُمَّ انْحَطَمْ ضَرَبْتُ عَلَى جِيدِهِ ضَرْبَةً فَمَالَ كَمَا مَالَ غُصْنُ السَّلَمْ وَسُقْنَا نِسَاءَ بَنِي عَمِّهِ غَدَاةَ رَقَوْقَيْنَ سَوْقَ النَّعَمْ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: قَوْلُهُ: ابْنِ الْإِرَاشِ عَنْ غَيْرِ ابْنِ إسْحَاقَ. وَالْبَيْتُ الثَّالِثُ عَنْ خَلَّادِ بْنِ قُرَّةَ؛ وَيُقَالُ: مَالِكُ بْنُ رَافِلَةَ:
Translation
✧ The Messenger's grief for Jaʿfar and his injunction 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 God ﷺ came in to me, and I had tanned forty manā (Ibn Hishām said: it is also related as forty manīʾah), kneaded my dough, washed my sons, anointed them, and cleaned them. She said: The Messenger of God ﷺ said to me: "Bring me the sons of Jaʿfar." She said: I brought them to him, and he sniffed them, and his eyes overflowed. I said: "O Messenger of God, by my father and mother, 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 arose crying out, and the women gathered around me, and the Messenger of God ﷺ went out to his family and said: "Do not neglect the family of Jaʿfar in preparing food for them, for they are preoccupied 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 sorrow in the face of the Messenger of God ﷺ. She said: A man entered upon him and said: "O Messenger of God, the women have distressed us and tempted us." He said: "Return to them and silence them." She said: He went, then came back and said the like to him. He said: "You say; and perhaps affectation harms its people." She said: He said: "Go and silence them, and if they refuse, throw dust into their mouths." She said: I said to myself: "May God distance you! By God, you have not spared yourself, and you are not obeying the Messenger of God ﷺ." She said: I knew that he would not be able to throw dust into their mouths. Ibn Isḥāq said: Quṭbah b. Qatādah al-ʿUdhrī, who was over the right wing of the Muslims, had charged against Mālik b. Zāfilah and killed him. Quṭbah b. Qatādah said: I thrust Ibn Zāfilah b. al-Irāsh with a spear that went through him, then it broke. I struck his neck a blow, and he bent as a branch of the salam tree bends. And we drove the women of his paternal cousins on the morning of Raqawqayn like driving cattle. Ibn Hishām said: His words "Ibn al-Irāsh" are from other than Ibn Isḥāq; and the third verse is from Khallād b. Qurrah. It is also said: Mālik b. Rāfilah.
