When the soldiers of Islam came back to their homeland, they began telling their families about Ja'far's heroic actions and those who were martyred. One of them said: We've seen 90 wounds in Ja'far's body. Another said: I've seen him when his right hand had been cut off. The third said: I've seen him when his left hand had been cut off. He had fallen over the ground and his wounds bled. Our Master Muhammad [s] said: Jibreel has told me that Allah has granted Ja'far two wings to fly with in the Paradise. That night, Ja'far's children lay on their beds. They were looking at the sky full of stars. In the meantime, they imagined that their father was flying with his wings like angels. |
