(Tabari) Amir bin Nah-shal Tamimi attacked Mohammad bin Abdullah bin Ja’far bin Abi Talib (a.s) and killed him. (May Allah’s Mercy and Blessings be upon him.)
Abul Faraj (Isfahani) says that his mother was Khawsa, [1] the daughter of Hafsah from the clan of Bani Bakr bin Wael.
Sulayman bin Qibbah, in elegy for him says: “When the one whose name was similar to that of the Prophet fell in their midst, they raised their sharp-edged and clear-cut swords upon his head, then if you desire to weep O my eyes, then weep generously with tears similar to a tempest”.
It is related in Manaqib, that he proceeded towards the battlefield saying, “I complain to Allah regarding the enemies, a nation who are blind and who spread devastation, who have changed the characteristics of the Qur’an, the firm revelation, and its rationality, they have sided in disbelief with the despots”. Then he put to sword ten men and Amir bin Nah-shal Tamimi killed him.
Abul Faraj says that following him, his brother Ubaydullah bin Abdullah bin Ja’far was martyred. (May Allah’s Mercy and Blessings be upon him). It is quoted in Manaqib, that Bishr bin Huwaytar Qanasi killed him.
[1] In certain books it is stated that his (Mohammad's) mother too was Sayyedah Zainab al Kubra (a.s), ref. Safinatul Bihar by Shaikh Abbas Qummi, Khasaise Zainabiyah by Sayyed Nuruddin Jazaeri, Zainab: Ukhtal Husain by Mohammad Husain al Adeeb, etc. And Allah is the Best Knower.
