English Translation

Abd Allah told us: He said: I found in my father's book, in his own handwriting, this hadith: Sa'id — meaning Ibn Sulayman Sa'dawayh — told us: Abbad — meaning Ibn al-Awwam — told us, from Harun b. Antarah, from his father, who said: When al-Hajjaj killed Ibn al-Zubayr and crucified him upside down, while he was on the pulpit, Asma' came, with a slave-girl leading her, for she had lost her sight, and she said, 'Where is your commander?' And he mentioned a story. She said, 'You lie, but I will tell you a hadith I heard from the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him), saying, "Two liars will emerge from Thaqif, the second of them worse than the first, and he will be a destroyer."'
