محمد بن أبي بكر
One tradition tells of a squabble that broke out between Muhammad ibn Ja'far and Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr, each of them boasting that their own respective father was greater in status. Ali told Asma to settle the quarrel. She told the boys: "Ja'far was the best of Arabs among the youth, and Abu Bakr was the best of Arabs among the old." Ali said: "That's a good answer, but you haven't said anything about me!" Asma replied, "Of the three, you are the most to choose."
