Abd al-Malik bin Umayr said: I came to Ubaydullah bin Ziyad, and the head of Imam Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) lay before him on a shield. By Allah, after a short while I came to al-Mukhtar, and the head of Ubaydullah bin Ziyad lay before al-Mukhtar on a shield. By Allah, after a short while I came to Mus'ab bin al-Zubayr, and the head of al-Mukhtar lay on a shield. By Allah, after a short while I came to Abd al-Malik, and the head of Mus'ab bin al-Zubayr lay on a shield.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it, and Imam Abu Ya'la recorded something similar, and he says: These people had no business except heads. The narrators of Imam al-Tabarani are thiqat (trustworthy).
