Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 2813 — Shayban bin Makhram, who was an Uthmani

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي سُمَينَةَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، ثنا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ، عَنْ شَيْبَانَ بْنِ مَخْرَمٍ، وَكَانَ عُثْمَانِيًّا، قَالَ: إِنِّي لَمَعَ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ إِذْ أَتَى كَرْبَلَاءَ، فَقَالَ: «يُقْتَلُ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ شُهَدَاءُ لَيْسَ مِثْلَهُمْ شُهَدَاءُ إِلَّا شُهَدَاءُ بَدْرٍ» . فَقُلْتُ: بَعْضُ كِذْبَاتِهِ، وَثَمَّ رِجْلُ حِمَارٍ مَيِّتٍ، فَقُلْتُ لِغُلَامي: خُذْ رِجْلَ هَذَا الْحِمَارِ فَأَوْتِدْهَا فِي مَقْعَدِهِ وَغَيِّبْهَا، فَضَرَبَ الدَّهْرُ ضَرْبَةً، فَلَمَّا قُتِلَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ رَضِي اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، انْطَلَقْتُ وَمَعِي أَصْحَابٌ لِي، فَإِذَا جُثَّةُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى رِجْلِ ذَاكَ الْحِمَارِ، وَإِذَا أَصْحَابُهُ رِبْضَةٌ حَوْلَهُ "
Shayban bin Makhram, who was an Uthmani (that is, among the supporters of Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him)), said: I was with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) when he reached Karbala, and he said: "In this place martyrs will be killed whose like among martyrs will be none but the martyrs of Badr." I said (to myself): This is one of his exaggerations. There was the leg of a dead donkey lying there, so I said to my slave: Take the leg of this donkey, drive it into the ground at this very spot, and hide it. Then time passed, until, when Husayn bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, I went there with some of my companions, and I saw the body of Husayn bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) lying at the spot of that donkey's leg, and his companions lying around him.
