غزوة مؤتة — استشهاد زيد وجعفر وابن رواحة

غزوة مؤتة — استشهاد زيد وجعفر وابن رواحة

At Mu'ta the three commanders fell in succession — Zayd ibn Haritha, then Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, then Abd Allah ibn Rawaha. Waqidi reports the Prophet entering his daughter Fatima's house as she cried 'wa 'ammah', answering 'like Ja'far — let the weeper weep' and ordering food made for the family of Ja'far; Asma' bint Umays narrates the Prophet's words to her that God would give her a better husband.
