It is narrated from Sayyida Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her) that when Sayyiduna Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) and his companions had attained martyrdom, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) came to my house. I had put forty skins to be cleaned, the dough was kneaded, and I had bathed my children, oiled them, and made them very clean and tidy. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) came and said: "Bring Ja'far's sons to me." I brought them to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), he smelled them, and tears came to his eyes. I said: "O Messenger of Allah! May my parents be sacrificed for you, why are you weeping? Has any news reached you about Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) and his companions?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "Yes, they were martyred today." Hearing this, I stood up and screamed, women gathered around me, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) went to his house. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "O people! Do not be heedless of preparing food for the family of Ja'far, for they are afflicted by the shock of the martyrdom of their guardian."
