Ishaq reports from his father that he said: Mus'ab bin al-Zubayr came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) while he was walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah. Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) asked: "Who are you?" He said: "Your nephew, Mus'ab bin al-Zubayr." Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) asked: "The one of Iraq?" He said: "Yes." Mus'ab bin al-Zubayr said: "I have come to ask you about people who have thrown off obedience, shed blood and amassed wealth. They were fought and overpowered; they entered a castle and fortified themselves in it; then they asked for safe conduct, were given it, and then were killed." Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) asked: "How many were they?" He said: "Five thousand." The narrator said: At that, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said "Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah)" and said: "O Ibn al-Zubayr, may Allah grant you long life! If a man came among the livestock of al-Zubayr and slaughtered five thousand of them in a single morning, would you consider him excessive?" Mus'ab said in reply: "Yes." Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "You consider it excess in the case of beasts that do not know Allah, yet you consider it lawful in the case of those who declared Allah's oneness for even a single day?"
