Overview
When Ja'far was struck, the Prophet came to the house of Asma bint Umays and asked for Ja'far's children. When he saw them he sniffed them, and his eyes shed tears. 1
He told Asma that Ja'far and his companions had been struck that day. He ordered the people not to neglect feeding the family of Ja'far. 1
Aisha related that grief appeared on the Prophet's face when the news of Ja'far's death came. 1
