It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that we were returning from a journey, and at Dhu al-Hulayfah people came out to welcome us; the young men of the Ansar used to come out to welcome (travelers). There they met Sayyiduna Usayd bin Hudayr, and people informed him of the death of his wife, so he covered himself with his sheet and began to weep. I said to him: Subhan Allah! You are a Companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and you have such a high standing in Islam, yet you are weeping over a woman? He removed the sheet from his head and said: You have spoken the truth, by the life of Allah! It befits me not to weep over anyone after Sa'd bin Mu'adh, for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said about him what he said. I asked: What did he (peace and blessings be upon him) say about him? He said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Throne of Allah shook at the death of Sa'd bin Mu'adh." Aishah said: At that time he (Usayd) was walking between me and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both); he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The Throne of the Most Merciful shook at the death of Sa'd bin Mu'adh." A man said to Jabir: Al-Bara' (bin Azib) says that the (bier's) couch shook. Jabir replied: There were some old grudges between these two tribes, the Aws and the Khazraj (which is why the wording was changed); I myself heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The Throne of the Most Merciful shook at the death of Sa'd bin Mu'adh." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I entered Paradise and heard the sound of recitation there. I asked: 'Who is this?' The angels replied: 'This is Harithah bin al-Nu'man.' (The reward of righteousness) is like this; the reward of kindness to parents is like this." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: My paternal aunt's son Harithah went out on the day of Badr only to observe, not to fight, but an arrow struck him and he was martyred. My aunt came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, my son Harithah: if he is in Paradise, I will be patient and hope for reward; otherwise, you will see what I do. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Umm Harithah, there are many gardens there, and indeed Harithah is in the highest station of the Paradise of al-Firdaws." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it with this wording narrated by Thabit; however, they both agreed on the abridged hadith narrated by Humayd from Anas.

Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Umar bin Ali narrates from his father that a Roman man struck Ja'far bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) with such force that he was cut into two pieces. One half of him fell into a vineyard, and thirty or somewhat more than thirty wounds were found on that half of his body. He had migrated to Abyssinia in the second emigration together with his wife Asma' bint Umays, and remained there until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had migrated to Madinah. Then he came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) when he (peace and blessings be upon him) was at Khaybar, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I do not know which of the two makes me happier: the conquest of Khaybar or the arrival of Ja'far?" The narrator said: Ja'far's kunyah was Abu Abdullah.

Yahya bin Abbad bin Abdullah narrates from his father and grandfather: The man from Banu Murrah who had nursed me told me: It is as if I am looking at Ja'far bin Abi Talib on the day of the Battle of Mu'tah; he dismounted from his horse, hamstrung it, then advanced towards the enemy and fought until he was martyred.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Last night I entered Paradise and looked around, and I saw Ja'far flying with the angels and Hamzah reclining on a couch." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that after the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), among all the people who ever wore sandals or rode any mount or camel saddle, there was none better than Ja'far bin Abi Talib. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Bukhari, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Ja'far bin Abi Talib was shown to me in the form of an angel, flying with the angels by means of two wings." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that when the news of Ja'far's martyrdom came, we saw signs of grief and sorrow on the blessed face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
