Question:
This is Ahmad ibn Jazan. He says: Honorable Shaykh Salih, may Allah preserve you, what is the authenticity of the hadith
Prepare food for the family of Ja’far, for there hasاصنعوا لآل جعفر طعاما فقد
Sunan Ibn Majah 1610Hasan (Darussalam)
"Something came to them that occupied them"? What is the benefit derived from this hadith?

Answer:
The hadith is authentic. Ja'far ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred in the Battle of Mu'tah, and the news of his martyrdom (may Allah be pleased with him) reached his family. They were preoccupied with preparing food for them in their home. At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his family:
Prepare food for the family of Ja'farاصنعوا لآل جعفر طعاما
Sunan Abi Dawud 3132Hasan (Al-Albani)
For something had come to them that occupied them, meaning they were preoccupied with their calamity. In it is evidence for preparing food for the family of the deceased to the extent of their need. Yes.
