Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32705 — Reports on talk about rulers

Safiyyah narrates that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) entered the Sacred Mosque while Sayyiduna Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) was hanging crucified. People said to him: "Sayyidah Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) is coming." Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) went to Sayyidah Asma, counselled and admonished her, and said: "The body is of no real account; the souls are with Allah Almighty. Be patient and hope for the reward from Allah Almighty." She said: "What is there to keep me from patience, when the head of Yahya bin Zakariyya (peace be upon him) was given to a wicked woman of the Children of Israel?"
