'Abdullah al-Ansari]] saying that: when the battle of Muta was happening, the Prophet (s) said his morning prayers and then went on his [[minbar]] and said: your brothers have gone on a fight with the polytheists. He then talked about the events of the battle until he said: now [[Ja'far b. Abi Talib]] has taken the flag to fight. He then said: now his right arm is amputated and he has taken the flag with his left arm. He then said: now his left arm has also been amputated and he is holding the flag with his chests. He then said: now Ja'far is martyred and the flag fell on the ground. Now 'Abdullah b. Rawaha has taken the flag. He then said: now 'Abdullah is martyred and [[Khalid b. Walid]] has taken the flag … the Muslims are returning, and some polytheists have been killed. Then the Prophet (s) mentioned the names of Muslims who were martyred in Muta. He then went to Ja'far's house and called his little son, [['Abdullah b. Ja'far]], seated him on his lap and cuddled him.
