عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ : " لَمَّا جِيءَ بِرَأْسِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ , وَأَصْحَابِهِ نُضِّدَتْ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فِي الرَّحَبَةِ , فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ : قَدْ جَاءَتْ قَدْ جَاءَتْ ، فَإِذَا حَيَّةٌ قَدْ جَاءَتْ تَخَلَّلُ الرُّءُوسَ حَتَّى دَخَلَتْ فِي مَنْخَرَيْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ , فَمَكَثَتْ هُنَيْهَةً , ثُمَّ خَرَجَتْ , فَذَهَبَتْ حَتَّى تَغَيَّبَتْ ، ثُمَّ قَالُوا : قَدْ جَاءَتْ قَدْ جَاءَتْ ، فَفَعَلَتْ ذَلِكَ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا . هَذَا حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
´Narrated 'Umarah bin 'Umair:` "When the heads of 'Ubaidullah bin Ziyad and his companions were brought, they were stacked in the Masjid at Ar-Rahbah. So I came to them and they were saying: 'It has come, it has come." And behold, there was a snake going between the heads, until it entered the nostrils of 'Ubaidullah bin Ziyad, and it remained there momentarily, then left and went until it had disappeared. Then they said: 'It has come, it has come.' So it did that two or three times."

Explanation:
1:
By bringing this hadith in the virtues of Hasan and Husayn (radi Allahu anhuma), Imam Tirmidhi wishes to show the fate of that enemy of the grandson of the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) who, acting insolently towards Husayn (radi Allahu anhu), struck his nose, eye, and mouth with his stick—that people of the world may see with their own eyes how Allah dealt with the enemy of the Prophet’s grandson (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). (Abdullah bin Ziyad was killed in the year 66 AH at the place of Jazr—which is five farsakhs from Mosul—by Ibrahim bin Ash’ath, who was sent by Mukhtar al-Thaqafi.)
