حَدَّثَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ 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 مَنْخَرَىْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ فَمَكَثَتْ هُنَيْهَةً ثُمَّ خَرَجَتْ فَذَهَبَتْ حَتَّى تَغَيَّبَتْ ثُمَّ قَالُوا قَدْ جَاءَتْ قَدْ جَاءَتْ . فَفَعَلَتْ ذَلِكَ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا . هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
Wasil ibn ‘Abd al-A‘la narrated to us: Abu Mu‘awiyah narrated to us, from al-A‘mash, from ‘Umarah ibn ‘Umayr, who said: When the heads of ‘Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad and his companions were brought, they were arranged in the mosque at al-Rahbah. I came to them while they were saying, ‘It has come! It has come!’ Then a snake appeared, threading its way among the heads until it entered the nostrils of ‘Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad. It remained there briefly, then came out and went away until it disappeared. Then they said, ‘It has come! It has come!’ It did this two or three times. This hadith is hasan sahih.
