Volume 5, Book 57, Number 102:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet had informed the people about the death of Zaid, Ja'far and Ibn Rawaha before the
news of their death reached them. He said with his eyes flowing with tears, "Zaid took the flag and
was martyred; then Ja'far took the flag and was martyred, and then Ibn Rawaha took the flag and
was martyred. Finally the flag was taken by one of Allah's Swords (i.e. Khalid bin Al-Walid) and Al –
lah gave them (i.e. the Muslims) victory."
