أَبَانٌ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ بَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فِي الْمَسْجِدِ إِذْ خُفِضَ لَهُ كُلُّ رَفِيعٍ وَ رُفِعَ لَهُ كُلُّ خَفِيضٍ حَتَّى نَظَرَ إِلَى جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) يُقَاتِلُ الْكُفَّارَ قَالَ فَقُتِلَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) قُتِلَ جَعْفَرٌ وَ أَخَذَهُ الْمَغْصُ فِي بَطْنِهِ.
564. Aban, from Abu Baseer, who said the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) has said: ‘Once the Rasool Allah (saww) was in the Masjid, when every high thing was lowered for him (saww) and every low thing was raised for him (saww), to the extent that he (saww) saw Ja’far (as) fighting the infidels. He (as) got killed. So the Messenger (saww) said: ‘Ja’far has been killed’, and a severe pain struck him (as) in his (saww) stomach’.
