His account of the [[martyrdom]] of the [[Hussain ibn Ali|Imam al-Hussain]] seems to have been preserved by Nasr b. Muzahim on the authority of Jabir's pupil, `Amr b. Shamir. Extracts from Nasr's work are preserved by Abu al-Faraj al-Isfahani. In fact Abu al-Faraj has cited very little of Jabir's account. What little there is are the names of some of the killers of the members of the [[Ahl Al-Bayt|ahl al-bayt]], together with a verse which is included in [[Abu Mikhnaf]]'s account.<ref>Abu al-Faraj, op. cit., pp. 54, 56, 57, 61, 62. Cf al-Tabari, op. cit., p. 360.</ref> | His account of the [[martyrdom]] of the [[Hussain ibn Ali|Imam al-Hussain]] seems to have been preserved by Nasr b.

The verse tells that the blood shed by the tribesmen will be reckoned against them. [[Ibn al-Kalbi]] also reports one narrative from Jabir. This is also on the authority of Jabir's pupil, `Amr b. Shamir. In this report Jabir's authority is not given but it may well be the Imam al-Baqir again. The report tells us how the Imam al-Hussain was thirsty, and was struck in the mouth by an arrow shot by [[Husayn b. Tamim]]. The blood spurted from his mouth, and he brushed it away into the air. He then prayed: “O God, count their number, destroy their power and do not leave one of them on earth”.<ref>Ibid., p. 361.</ref> | The verse tells that the blood shed by the tribesmen will be reckoned against them.
