Azami 9115

Abu Dawud (2573) and Hakim (3/209) narrated it through Muhammad bin Ishaq, who said, "Abbad (that is, Yahya bin Abbad) narrated to me, from his father Abbad bin Abdullah bin Zubayr," and he related it. Its isnad is hasan because of Muhammad bin Ishaq, and Hafiz likewise graded it hasan in Fath al-Bari (7/511), but Abu Dawud said, "This hadith is not strong."I say, perhaps he was looking at the fact that Muhammad bin Ishaq alone reported the detail of the hamstringing of the horse during the battle, since no one else agreed with him on that.This is found in Sirat bin Hisham (2/378), which adds, after the words "until he was killed," that he was saying,"How lovely is Paradise and its nearness, sweet and cool is its drink, while the Romans, the Romans, their punishment has drawn near, disbelievers, distant are their lineages, it falls upon me, when I meet them, to strike them."Ibn Hisham said, "Someone I trust among the people of knowledge told me that Jafar bin Abu Talib took hold of the banner with his right hand, and it was cut off, so he took it with his left hand, and it was cut off, so he clasped it between his upper arms until he was killed at the age of thirty-three."
