Abu Muhayyah narrates from his father: When Hajjaj bin Yusuf martyred Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), Hajjaj came to the service of Sayyidah Asma bint Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) and requested her: O mother! The Commander of the Faithful has instructed me regarding you, so do you have any need? Sayyidah Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I have no need, and I am not your mother. I am the mother of the one who was crucified at the edge of the valley. Wait! I will tell you something that I heard from the tongue of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: From the tribe of Thaqif, there will arise a liar who will claim prophethood and a bloodshedder." As for the liar, we have already seen him. By Sayyidah Asma (may Allah be pleased with her), she meant Mukhtar Thaqafi, and as for the bloodshedder, that is you. So Hajjaj said: I am the one who sheds the blood of hypocrites.
