صحيح مسلم 6496

Abu Naufal reported:I saw (the dead body) of Abdullah b. Zubair hanging on the road of Medina (leading to Mecca). The Quraish passed by it and other people too, that Abdullah b. Umar happened to pass by it. He stood up there and said: May there be peace upon you, Abu Khubaib (the Kunya of Hadrat 'Abdullah b. Zubair), may there be peace upon you Abu Khubaib, may there be peace upon you, Abu Khubaib! By Allah, I used to forbid you from this; by Allah, I used to forbid you from this, by Allah I used to forbid you from this. By Allah, so far as I know, you had been very much devoted to fasting and prayer and you had been paying very much care to cementing the ties of blood. By Allah, the group to which you belong (are labelled) as (a) wicked (person) is indeed a fine group. Then 'Abdullah b. 'Umar went away. The stand 'Abdullah (b. 'Umar) took in regard to the inhuman treatment (meted out to 'Abdullah b. Zubair) and his words (in that connection) were conveyed to Hajjaj (b. Yusuf) and (as a consequence of that) he (the body of Abdullah b. Zubair) was brought down from the stump (the scaffold) by which it was hanging and thrown into the graves of the Jews. He (Hajjaj) sent (his messenger) to Asma' (bint Abu Bakr, 'Abdullah's mother). But she refused to come. He again sent the messenger to her with the message that she must come, otherwise he would bring her forcibly catching hold of her hair. But she again refused and said: By Allah, I will not come to you until you send one to me who would drag me by pulling my hair. Thereupon he said: Bring me my shoes. He put on his shoes and walked on quickly swollen with vanity and pride until he came to her and said: How do you find what I have done with the enemy of Allah? She said: I find that you wronged him in this world, whereas he has spoiled your next life. It has been conveyed to me that you used to call him ('Abdullah b. Zubair) as the son of one having two belts. By Allah, I am indeed (a woman) of two belts. One is that with the help of which I used to suspend high the food of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and that of Abu Bakr (making it out of the reach) of animals and, so far as the second belt is concerned, that is the belt which no woman can dispense with. Verily Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) told us that in Thaqif, there would be born a great liar and great murderer. The liar we have seen, and as far as the murderer is concerned, I do not find anyone else besides you. 'Thereupon he (Hajjaj) stood up and did not give any reply to her

Rapporté par Abu Naufal رضي الله عنه : J’ai vu le corps d’Abdullah b. Zubair suspendu sur la route de Médine vers la Mecque. Les Quraish et d’autres passaient devant, et Abdullah b. Umar est passé. Il s’est arrêté et a dit : « Que la paix soit sur toi, Abu Khubaib, que la paix soit sur toi, Abu Khubaib, que la paix soit sur toi, Abu Khubaib ! Par Allah, je t’avais interdit cela ; par Allah, je t’avais interdit cela ; par Allah, je t’avais interdit cela. Par Allah, autant que je sache, tu étais très assidu dans le jeûne et la prière, et tu faisais tout pour maintenir les liens familiaux. Par Allah, le groupe auquel tu appartiens, même s’il est qualifié de mauvais, est vraiment un bon groupe. » Puis Abdullah b. Umar est parti. Ce qu’il a dit au sujet du traitement inhumain infligé à Abdullah b. Zubair a été rapporté à Hajjaj, qui a alors fait descendre le corps et l’a jeté dans les tombes des juifs. Il a envoyé un messager à Asma (la mère d’Abdullah), mais elle a refusé de venir. Il a insisté, menaçant de la faire venir de force en la tirant par les cheveux. Elle a répondu : « Par Allah, je ne viendrai pas à toi, sauf si tu envoies quelqu’un qui me traîne par les cheveux. » Il a alors demandé ses chaussures, les a mises et est venu vers elle, plein d’orgueil. Il lui a dit : « Que penses-tu de ce que j’ai fait à l’ennemi d’Allah ? » Elle a répondu : « Je pense que tu l’as injustement traité dans ce monde, mais il a ruiné ta vie future. On m’a dit que tu l’appelais “le fils de la femme aux deux ceintures”. Par Allah, je suis bien une femme aux deux ceintures : l’une avec laquelle je suspendais la nourriture du Messager d’Allah ﷺ et d’Abu Bakr hors de portée des animaux, et l’autre, celle que toute femme porte. Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ nous a dit que dans la tribu de Thaqif naîtrait un grand menteur et un grand meurtrier. Nous avons vu le menteur, et pour le meurtrier, je ne vois personne d’autre que toi. » Hajjaj s’est alors levé sans rien répondre
