It is narrated from Sayyidah Asma' bint Umays (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "For the people there is one emigration, but for you (the emigrants to Abyssinia) there are two emigrations." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs did not record it!

Hisham bin Urwah narrates from his father that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with them) pledged allegiance to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when they were both only seven years old.

Ja'far bin Khalid bin Sarah narrates from his father, who narrates from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with them both), that he said: If only you had seen me, Ubaydullah and Qutham when we were children and were playing. Meanwhile the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by us, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Lift this one up to me," and he seated me in front of him on his mount. Then he said about Qutham: "Lift this one up to me too," and he seated him behind him. Ubaydullah was dearer to Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) than (his brother) Qutham, yet he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not feel shy of his uncle (in taking Qutham rather than Ubaydullah). The narrator says: I asked: What became of Qutham? He said: He was martyred. I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best what good to bestow upon whom." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Imam Muslim bin al-Hajjaj that Abu Ja'far Abdullah bin Ja'far bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with them both) heard hadiths directly from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, he was ten years old.

It is narrated from Ali bin Abi Hamalah that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with them both) went as a delegate to Amir Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he ordered that he be given two million dirhams.

It is narrated from Ibn A'ishah that Ziyad al-A'jam came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with them both) seeking help in paying the blood money (diyah) of five slain people, and he gave him that amount. At this the poet composed these verses: "We asked him for a huge sum and he did not hesitate in the least, and he gave beyond our wishes and hopes. He was generous, then generous again, and when we returned once more he was generous yet again. Whenever I went back to him, he welcomed me with a smile and folded the cushion double (to honour me)." Imam al-Hakim says: Imam al-Bukhari and Imam Muslim agree that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with them both) heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at the age of ten, and by the will of Allah I am mentioning at this point, with their chains of narration, those hadiths upon which the two Shaykhs agree.

It is narrated from Abu Ja'far Muhammad bin Ali bin al-Husayn that we said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with them both): Narrate to us the hadiths that you yourself heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and what you saw with your own eyes, and do not narrate to us through anyone else, however trustworthy he may be. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "What is between the navel and the knee is 'awrah (to be covered)." And I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Charity given in secret extinguishes the anger of the Lord." And I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The worst people of my Ummah are those who were born into luxury and were raised in it; they eat food of many colours, wear clothes of all kinds, ride mounts of various sorts, and are affected and pretentious in their speech." And I heard that Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I passed by some people who were talking among themselves, but when they saw me they fell silent and found me a burden (in their gathering). Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Have they done that?! By the One in whose Hand is my soul, none of them will be a (complete) believer until he loves you for the sake of his love for me. Do they hope to enter Paradise through my intercession while Banu Abd al-Muttalib do not hope for it (that is, their right to it is the greatest)?"
