عَنْ أَبِي الصَّدَّيقِ النَّاجِيِّ أَنَّ الْحَجَّاجَ بْنَ يُوسُفَ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ بَعْدَ مَا قُتِلَ ابْنُهَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ ابْنَكِ أَلْحَدَ فِي هَذَا الْبَيْتِ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَذَاقَهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ أَلِيمٍ وَفَعَلَ بِهِ مَا فَعَلَ فَقَالَتْ كَذَبْتَ كَانَ بَرًّا بِالْوَالِدَيْنِ صَوَّامًا وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”أَنَّهُ سَيَخْرُجُ مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ كَذَّابَانِ الْآخِرُ مِنْهُمَا شَرُّ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِ وَهُوَ مُبِيرٌ“
It is narrated from Abu Sadiq Naji that when Hajjaj bin Yusuf had killed Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), after that he went to his mother, Sayyida Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her), and said: "Your son committed heresy inside the House of Allah, so Allah subjected him to a painful punishment and did much to him." Sayyida Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "You are lying. He was extremely dutiful to his parents, he used to fast a lot during the day and stand in prayer a lot during the night. By Allah! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has already informed us that soon two liars will appear from the tribe of Thaqif; the latter of them will be worse than the former and he will be very bloodthirsty."
