Thereafter he came and said, “From this day on, do not weep for my brother.” He continued, “Call my nephews to me.” We were brought before him like fledglings, whereupon he asked for a barber and had our heads shaved. He then said, “As for Muḥammad, he resembles our uncle Abū Ṭālib; and as for ʿAbd Allāh, he resembles me in appearance and character.” Taking my hand, he raised it and supplicated: “O Allah, be the guardian of Jaʿfar’s family, and bless ʿAbd Allāh in the dealings of his right hand,” repeating it three times. Our mother Asmāʾ then entered and mentioned our orphanhood, so he said, “Are you afraid poverty will befall them? I am their guardian in this world and the Hereafter!”
