Ja'far ibn Aqeel (Arabic: جَعْفَر ٱبْن عَقِيل, Jaʿfar ibn ʿAqīl) was the son of Aqeel ibn Abi Talib,[1][2] and his mother was Umm-Thaqr as the daughter of Amer—Hesam ibn Ameri—who was from Bani Kilab.[3][4] Meanwhile, he was the son-in-law of Ali ibn Abi Talib.[5]
Ja'far is considered as one of Hussain's companions; he entered the battlefield after Abdullah ibn Moslem,[6] and he killed 2 (or 15) fighters of the army of Omar Saad.[7] He was killed by Boshr ibn Hoot Hamdani[8] or Khalid bin Asad al Johani in (the battle of) Karbala[9] on the day of Ashura when he was with Hussain ibn Ali.[10][11]
Ja'far ibn Aqeel was reciting the following epic verses in the battlefield:
- "I am an Abtahi (Makki) young and am from Talib descendant, (I am) from the descendant of Hashim and Qalib;
- and without doubt we are the master of grandee, this is Hussain the master of cleaners"[12][13]
Additionally, the name of Ja'far ibn Aqeel ibn Abi Talib has been mentioned in Ziyarah al-Nahiya al-Muqaddasa and also Ziyarah al-Rajabiyyah.[14]
