He was the son of Muhammad's cousin, Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, and of Asma bint Umais. His uncle Ali particularly wished that his daughters should marry Ja'far's sons. In due course, Muhammad ibn Ja'far did marry Ali's daughter Umm Kulthum, who was the widow of his brother Awn.<ref>Muhammad ibn Saad. ''Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir'' vol. 8. Translated by Bewley, A.
