Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that when the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) received the news of the martyrdom of Sayyiduna Zaid bin Harithah, Sayyiduna Ja’far, and Abdullah bin Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with them) (in the Battle of Mu’tah), he was sitting in such a way that the signs of grief were visible on his face. I was looking through a hole in the door when a man came and mentioned the weeping of the women in the house of Sayyiduna Ja’far (may Allah be pleased with him). The Prophet said,“Forbid them from weeping.”He went but returned and said,“They are not listening.”The Prophet again said,“Forbid them.”He went a second time but returned and said,“By Allah, they have overpowered us.”(Lady Aisha) became certain that (upon his saying this) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“Then throw dust in their mouths.”At this I said,“May you be ruined! Now you will not do what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has commanded, but you have caused him distress.”
