لَمَّا قُتِلَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ( عليه السلام ) أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَاطِمَةَ ( عليها السلام ) أَنْ تَتَّخِذَ طَعَاماً لِأَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَ تَأْتِيَهَا وَ نِسَاءَهَا فَتُقِيمَ عِنْدَهَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَجَرَتْ بِذَلِكَ السُّنَّةُ أَنْ يُصْنَعَ لِأَهْلِ الْمُصِيبَةِ طَعَامٌ ثَلَاثاً .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hafs Bin Al Bakhtary, from Hisham Bin Salim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘When Ja’far Bin Abu Talib<sup>as</sup> was killed, Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> ordered Syeda Fatima<sup>asws</sup> that she<sup>asws</sup> should take some food to Asma Bint Umays for three days, and get her<sup>asws</sup> womenfolk to go to her, and they should stay in her presence, for three days running. Thus the Sunnah flowed with that, that food be made for the bereaved for three days’.
