His father was Abd Allah ibn Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and his mother was Zaynab, the daughter of Ali ibn Abi Talib and Fatima. His ancestor was Ja'far al-Tayyar, whom Muhammad (the prophet) had appointed as the head of the emigrants to Abyssinia.[1]
Accompanying Hussain ibn Ali[]
When Hussain ibn Ali moved from Mecca to Medina, Abd Allah ibn Ja'far wrote a letter to the Hussain and tried to change his mind. He sent the letter through his sons Muhammad and Awn, but when Ja'far realized that the Imam is determined to go, he advised Muhammad and Awn to accompany Hussain ibn Ali.[2]
