Biographie Complète

Ja'far ibn Abi Talib was known as "At-Tayyar" (The Flyer) because, according to Islamic sources, Allah compensated his lost arms with wings in Paradise. An early Muslim who migrated to Abyssinia to preserve the faith, Ja'far was known for his eloquent speech and diplomatic skills. At Mu'tah, while leading the Muslim army, he lost both arms defending the banner of Islam but continued encouraging troops until martyrdom. The Prophet ﷺ awarded him a position in Paradise and promised him heavenly palaces.
