Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hilal bin Yasaf narrates that the messenger who brought Mukhtar’s head to Abdullah bin Zubair told me: When I placed Mukhtar’s head before him, he said, “Everything that Ka’b told me, I have seen its confirmation, except for one thing: he told me that a man from the tribe of Banu Thaqif would kill me. I think that I have killed that Thaqafi myself.”
