Hadith 36:225
Waki’ narrated to us, from Sufyan, from al-Aswad, from Qays, from Nabih, from Jabir, who said: My father, Abdullah, said to me: "O my son, were it not for young daughters I am leaving behind after me—sisters and daughters—I would have loved for you to be ahead of me. But stay among those who look after the people of Medina." He said: I did not wait long before my paternal aunt brought them both, killed—meaning his father and his uncle—having laid them across a camel.
حدثنا وكيع عن سفيان عن الأسود عن قيس عن نبيح عن جابر قال قال لي أبي عبد الله أي ابني لولا بنيات أخلفهن من بعدي من أخوات وبنات لأحببت أن أقدمك أمامي ولكن كن في نظاري المدينة قال فلم ألبث أن جاءت بهما عمتي قتيلين يعني أباه وعمه قد عرضتهما على بعير
