(4) CHAPTER. A man who informs the relatives of the deceased person (of his death) by himself.
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said, Zaid took over the flag and was martyred. Then it was taken by Jafar who was martyred as well. Then `Abdullah bin Rawaha took the flag but he too was martyred and at that time the eyes of Allah's Apostle were full of tears. Then Khalid bin Al-Walid took the flag without being nominated as a chief (before hand) and was blessed with victory.
