وَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «إِنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ حِينَ جَاءَتْهُ وَفَاةُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ زَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ كَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ كَثُرَ بُكَاؤُهُ عَلَيْهِمَا جِدّاً وَ يَقُولُ «كَانَا يُحَدِّثَانِي وَ يُؤَانِسَانِي فَذَهَبَا جَمِيعاً».
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "When The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم received news of the deaths of Ja'far ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام and Zayd ibn Harithah, he would weep intensely when he entered his house and would say, 'They used to converse with me and bring me comfort, and now they are both gone.'"
