Abdullah ibn Ja'far
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abdullah ibn Ja'far (Arabic: عبد الله بن جعفر ) was the son of Ja'far ibn Abu Talib and the nephew of Ali.
He asked for Zainab's hand, and Ali accepted it. Her marriage settlement was equal to that of her mother's. Ali told Ja'far not to prevent Zainab from going on a journey with Hussein, her brother.
Although Zaynab bint Ali's husband was a man of means, she lived a modest life, not a life of luxury. She and her husband were charitable to the needy people. The Arab tribes called Abdullah "the sea or the cloud of munificence".
Abdullah was also noted for his standing with Ali in battles. Ibn Hajar quoted Muhammad as having said that Abdullah was like him in character and had taken him by the right hand and prayed to Allah to extend His mercy over the household of Abdullah bin Ja'far.
The marriage of Zainab did not diminish her strong attachment to her family. Ali also felt a great affection for his daughter and nephew and when he became the Caliph of the Muslims and moved from Medina to Kufa, Zainab and Abdullah joined him. Zainab bore four boys by the names:
- Ali ibn Abdullah
- Mohammad ibn Abdullah - killed at Kerbala.
- Aun ibn Abdullah - killed at Kerbala.
- Abbas ibn Abdullah
and two girls named Umm Kulthum.
