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]
