[^2]: Shaikh al-Mufid says in al-Irshad (pg.248): “Umm Luqman, the daughter of ‘Aqil bin Abi Talib, may Allah have mercy on them, came out crying when she heard the news of the death of al-Husayn (as). Her head was uncovered as she came out with her sisters: Umm Hani, Asma’, Ramlah and Zainab, daughters of ‘Aqil bin Abi Talib, may Allah have mercy on them.

She wept for her [relatives] slain on the bank [of the Euphrates], saying…” Sibt bin al-Jawzi has also related this in al-Tadhkirah (pg.267) from Zainab bint ‘Ali on the authority of al-Waqidi. [^3]: Tabari has related these verses from Imam al-Baqir (as) on the authority of ‘Ammar al-Duhani. [Al-Baqir says:] “He prepared them [for the journey] and took them to Madinah.

When they entered [Madinah], a woman from the Banu ‘Abd al-Muttalib came out with dishevelled hair and with the sleeve [of her garment] on her head. She approached them wailing and saying: What will you answer if the Prophet asked you, what have you done, while you were the last of the nations. To my progeny and household after my death? from them are captives and others are covered with their blood.

This was not the recompense to which I directed you, that after me you deal with my kin with such evil. [^4]: Al-Tabari: He is the one who narrated the incident of Halimah al-Sa’diyyah (2:158). In the year 8 H, when the soldiers returned from the battle of Mu’tah [and his father, Ja’far, had been martyred], the Messenger of Allah [s] asked [the family of ‘Abdullah to bring him. So they brought him to the Prophet and] he took him in his hands (3:42).

‘Abdullah was the one who suggested to ‘Ali (as) to dismiss Qais bin Sa’d from the governorship of Egypt and to appoint over it his half brother from his mother’s side, Muhammad bin ‘Abi Bakr. The Imam (as) accepted his suggestion (4:36). ‘Abdullah was with ‘Ali (as) in Siffin (5:61). He, together with al-Hasan and al-Husayn, undertook the arrangement for the burial of Imam ‘Ali (as). Then he returned with them to Madinah (5:165).

We have given his biography when we mentioned his letter to al-Husayn from Makkah through his [two] sons, Muhammad and ‘Aun.
