1610. It was narrated that 'Abdullāh bin Ja'far said: "When news of the death of Ja'far was brought, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Prepare food for the family of Ja'far, for there has come to them that which is keeping them busy or something which is keeping them busy.'" (Hasan)

Arabic text

1610 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا جَاءَ نَعْيُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اصْنَعُوا لِآلِ جَعْفَرٍ طَعَامًا، فَقَدْ أَتَاهُمْ مَا يَشْغَلُهُمْ، أَوْ أَمْرٌ يَشْغَلُهُمْ»

Commentary

a. The Battle of Mu'tah took place against the Roman Christian Kingdom in Jamâdiul-Awwal 8 H (August 629 C E). b. It is a responsibility upon the close relatives and neighbors that they should make food arrangements for the deceased's family. The people should not get together pretending to be guests of the family of the deceased. The prohibition of gathering at the house of a bereaved family is coming in Hadith 1612.
