In the 8th<\/sup> year of Hijri, the battle of Mutah took place in which Maulana Ja\u00b4far al-Tayyaar SA<\/sup> was martyred. Rasulullah SAW<\/sup> made him the commander-in-chief of his army when he sent him on campaign against the Eastern Roman Empire. He indicated clearly that if Maulana Ja\u00b4far were slain then Zaid bin Haaretha would succeed him as the commander, and if anything were to happen to him then Abdullah bin Rawaahah would lead. Rasulullah SAW<\/sup> went to see off Ja\u00b4far bin Abi Talib SA<\/sup> and his companions on their expedition.<\/p>\n

The army marched till it reached Shaam (Syria), where they got the news that the Roman emperor had set out in a huge army of one lakh soldiers and factions of people from different places were also joining him on the way. Muslimeen remained at their camping site watching the developments and decided to write to Rasulullah SAW<\/sup> informing him of the situation and awaiting his response: either to receive fortification or orders to go ahead. At that moment Maulana Ja\u00b4far and Abdullah bin Rawaahah exhorted the army, saying, \u201cWe have set out to seek martyrdom; we are not fighting the enemy with our strength or preparation; but we are fighting them with this deen which Allah has privileged us with. \u00a0So, move forth; for it could be either of one: victory or shahadat<\/em>.\u201d Inspired by this, the army moved on till it confronted the Roman army at a village called Saraf, in the district of Balqaa As the Roman army inched closer, the Muslim army turned towards the village of Mutah.<\/p>\n

Maulana Ja\u2019farSA<\/sup> took the flag in his right hand and kept fighting the enemy till his right hand was severed. He then took the standard in his left hand and when that too was severed he cradled it in his upper arms till he was slain. He was only thirty-three years of age. Allah compensated him with two wings with which he can fly wherever he wants in jannat<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Zaid bin Haretha succeeded Maulana Ja\u00b4far al Tayyar SA<\/sup> and took over the standard, till he too was slain. Abdullah bin Rawaahah then took the standard and hesitated a bit before venturing ahead and being slain. Rasulullah SAW<\/sup>, though in Medina, far away from Mutah, gave a detailed account of all that was happening in Mutah. He said, \u201cJa\u00b4far bin Abi Talib fought till he was slain; then Zaid bin Haretha took over the flag and fought till he too was slain.\u201d After saying this Rasulullah SAW<\/sup> went quiet for sometime which made the Ansaar anxious about Abdullah bin Rawaahah and they thought that some act of his had caused displeasure to Rasulullah SAW<\/sup>. Rasulullah SAW<\/sup> continued, \u201cAbdullah bin Rawaahah took the flag and fought with it till he was slain. \u00a0All three are in jannat<\/em> raised on thrones of gold. I saw ricketiness in Abdullah\u2019s throne and when I enquired about it I was told that Abdullah hesitated before committing himself to shahadat<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Maulana Ja\u00b4farSA<\/sup> was martyred Rasulullah SAW<\/sup> went to his house and asked Asmaa\u2019 binte Umais (his wife) to bring him Ja\u00b4far\u2019s children. Rasulullah SAW<\/sup> held them close, while tears fell from his eyes. Asmaa\u2019 enquired, \u201cWhat makes you cry O Rasulullah? Have you got any news about Ja\u00b4far and his companions?\u201d Rasulullah SAW<\/sup> replied, \u201cThey were martyred today.\u201d Upon hearing these words, Asmaa\u2019 let out a cry of wail and numerous other women joined her. Rasulullah SAW<\/sup> ordered his family to prepare food for Ja\u00b4far\u2019s family as they were engrossed in the loss of Maulana Ja\u00b4far. Rasullah\u2019sSAW<\/sup> grief knew no bounds as his love for Ja\u00b4far was immense. He used to say, \u201cPeople have branched out from different trees; and I and Ja\u00b4far have emerged from the same tree, therefore his character is similar to my character and his build resembles mine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maulana Ja\u2019far al-TayyaarSA<\/sup> was buried at the site of his martyrdom at Mutah. Al-Dai al-Ajal Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA <\/sup>was the first al-Dai al-Mutlaq to travel to the site of Mutah and perform ziyaarat<\/em> of Maulana Ja\u2019far al Tayyar SA<\/sup>. He also built a zarih<\/em> mubarak<\/em> and dedicated it in the year 1420 H. Allah\u2019s salawaat<\/em> on Maulana Ja\u00b4far al-TayyaarSA<\/sup><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
