Narrated ‘Aisha:
When the Prophet got the news of the death of Ibn Haritha, Ja’far and Ibn Rawaha he sat down
and looked sad and I was looking at him through the chink of the door. A man came and told him
about the crying of the women of Ja’far. The Prophet ordered him to forbid them. The man went and
came back saying that he had told them but they did not listen to him. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said,
“Forbid them.” So again he went and came back for the third time and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! By Al –
lah, they did not listen to us at all.” (‘Aisha added): Allah’s Apostle ordered him to go and put dust in
their mouths. I said, (to that man) “May Allah stick your nose in the dust (i.e. humiliate you)! You
could neither (persuade the women to) fulfill the order of Allah’s Apostle nor did you relieve Allah’s
Apostle from fatigue. ”

somewhere in the house. When Abu Talha came, he asked, “How is the boy?” She said, “The child is
quiet and I hope he is in peace.” Abu Talha thought that she had spoken the truth. Abu Talha passed
the night and in the morning took a bath and when he intended to go out, she told him that his son
had died, Abu Talha offered the (morning) prayer with the Prophet and informed the Prophet of
what happened to them. Allah’s Apostle said, “May Allah bless you concerning your night. (That is,
