When the boys entered, the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam), with tears welling up in his eyes gently kissed each of them on his forehead and began to weep. Then, Asma asked, "O Messenger of Allah (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam), you are dearer to me than my father and mother, why do you weep? Have you received news of Jafar and his companions?" thereupon the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) gently broke the news and she too began to weep whilst the women of her household rushed to her side to try to comfort her.
Marka wiilasha soo galay, Nabiga (Salla Allahu alihi wa Sallam), ayay iyadoo ooyaysa ka buuxdhaafaailaa indhihiisa si tartiib ah dhunkaday kasta oo iyaga ka mid ah oo ku saabsan fooddiisa oo bilaabay inuu ku baroorato. Markaas, Asma weydiiyay, "O Rasuulka Alle (Salla Allahu alihi wa Sallam), waxaad tihiin ka jeeeeshihiin Ilaahay ii tahay aabbahay iyo hooyaday, maxaad u ooyaysaa? Ma waxaad ka war heshay ee Jacfar oo isaga saaxiibbadiis ah?" soobixi in Nabiga (Salla Allahucalaa aalihii wa alihi) si tartiib ah ugu qarxay news iyo sidoo kale waxay bilaabeen inay u ooya, halka dumarka gurigeeda loola cararay dhankeedi in ay isku dayaan mid u qalbi qaboojiya.
