5229. It was narrated that 'Abdullâh bin Ja'far said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ stayed away from the family of Ja'far (when he died) for three days, then he came to them, and said: 'Do not weep for my brother after today.' Then he said: 'Call my brother's sons to me.' We were brought like little chicks, and he said: 'Call the barber for me.' Then he ordered that our heads be shaved." (Sahih)
5227 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: أَمْهَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ آلَ جَعْفَرٍ ثَلَاثَةً أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُمْ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُمْ، فَقَالَ: «لَا تَبْكُوا عَلَى أَخِي بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ: «ادْعُوا إِلَيَّ بَنِي أَخِي»، فَجِيءَ بِنَا كَأَنَّا أَفْرُخٌ فَقَالَ: «ادْعُوا إِلَيَّ الْحَلَّاقَ» فَأَمَرَ بِحَلْقِ رُءُوسِنَا مُخْتَصَرٌ

1. Ja'far was the elder brother of 'Alî, and was the cousin brother of the Prophet ﷺ. He embraced Islam in its early period. He emigrated to Abyssinia; then he emigrated to Al-Madinah. He was martyred in the expedition of Muta. May Allâh be pleased with him and he be with Him. 2. 'Do not weep': Crying was not absolutely forbidden, but it was forbidden by way of mourning, as mourning is observed for three days when someone dies. Condolers arrive intermittently and the sound of crying soars sporadically; otherwise, tears may surge at anytime. No one has control over tears. 3. There is no disagreement concerning the shaving of the head, provided the entire head is shaved. No locks or tassels of hair should be left unshaven. (See the following narration).
