حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَقَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد هُوَ يَحْيَی بْن عَبَّادٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي الَّذِي أَرْضَعَنِي وَهُوَ أَحَدُ بَنِي مُرَّةَ بْنِ عَوْفٍ وَکَانَ فِي تِلْکَ الْغَزَاةِ غَزَاةِ مُؤْتَةَ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ لَکَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَی جَعْفَرٍ حِينَ اقْتَحَمَ عَنْ فَرَسٍ لَهُ شَقْرَائَ فَعَقَرَهَا ثُمَّ قَاتَلَ الْقَوْمَ حَتَّی قُتِلَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2573
Narrated Abbad ibn Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr: My foster-father said to me - he was one of Banu Murrah ibn Awf, and he was present in that battle, the battle of Mu'tah: By Allah, as if I am seeing Jafar who jumped from his reddish horse and hamstrung it; he then fought with the people until he was killed. Abu Dawud said: The tradition is not strong.
