حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ خَالِدِ ابْنِ سَارَّةَ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ لَوْ رَأَيْتَنِي وَقُثَمَ وَعُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ ابْنَيْ عَبَّاسٍ وَنَحْنُ صِبْيَانٌ نَلْعَبُ إِذْ مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى دَابَّةٍ فَقَالَ ارْفَعُوا هَذَا إِلَيَّ قَالَ فَحَمَلَنِي أَمَامَهُ وَقَالَ لِقُثَمَ ارْفَعُوا هَذَا إِلَيَّ فَجَعَلَهُ وَرَاءَهُ وَكَانَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ أَحَبَّ إِلَى عَبَّاسٍ مِنْ قُثَمَ فَمَا اسْتَحَى مِنْ عَمِّهِ أَنْ حَمَلَ قُثَمًا وَتَرَكَهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ عَلَى رَأْسِي ثَلَاثًا وَقَالَ كُلَّمَا مَسَحَ اللَّهُمَّ اخْلُفْ جَعْفَرًا فِي وَلَدِهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَا فَعَلَ قُثَمُ قَالَ اسْتُشْهِدَ قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِالْخَيْرِ وَرَسُولُهُ بِالْخَيْرِ قَالَ أَجَلْ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1760
Abdullah bin Ja'far said: If you could have seen me with Qutham and 'Ubaidullah, the two sons of 'Abbas when we were boys, playing. The Prophet (PBUH) passed by on a mount and said: "Lift this one up to me." He seated me in front of him, and he said to Qutham: "Lift this one up to me." And he put him behind him. 'Ubaidullah was dearer to 'Abbas than Qutham, but he did not feel embarrassed in front of his uncle to carry Qutham and leave him. He said: Then he patted my head three times and said each time: "O Allah, take care of Ja' far's hildren for him [after he is gone]." He [the narrator] said: I said to 'Abdullah: What happened to Qutham? He said: He was martyred. I said: Allah and His Messenger know best where good lies. He said: Yes indeed.
