Ibn Awn narrates: These people, who were the best of people, were killed. Then he began to weep and said: The killer of Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) came forward, and Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) turned towards him. He said: "I remind you of Allah." So Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) held back from him, until this happened several times. Then Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "May Allah Almighty destroy him! He reminds others of Allah and then forgets Him himself."
Al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain is munqati' (broken), and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
