Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

The narrator reports from his father that when Hajjaj killed Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), he took him to Mina and crucified him near a mound in the middle of the valley. Then he said to the people, "Look at this man; he is the worst person of this Ummah." The narrator says, "I saw Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) coming on a mule. He began to bring his mule close to the beam, but the mule started to shy away. He said to his servant, 'Hold its reins and bring it near the beam.' He says, 'I saw that he brought the mule close to the beam.' Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) stopped there and said: 'May Allah have mercy on you. Indeed, you were one who fasted much and stood much in prayer. And surely, that Ummah has succeeded whose worst person is like you.'"
