Hadith 24:144
Khalaf ibn Khalifah narrated to us, from his father, who said: My father informed me that when al-Hajjaj killed Ibn al-Zubayr, he brought him to Mina and crucified him at the mountain pass in the bottom of the valley. Then he said to the people, "Look at this, the worst of the nation." He said: I saw Ibn Umar come on a mule of his, and he went to bring it near the trunk, but it began to shy away. He said to his servant, "Woe to you, take its bridle and bring it near." He said: So I saw him bring it near, and Abdullah ibn Umar stood there saying, "May Allah have mercy on you, for you were one who fasted much and prayed much. And a nation of which you are the worst has indeed succeeded."
حدثنا خلف بن خليفة عن أبيه قال أخبرني أبي أن الحجاج حين قتل بن الزبير جاء به إلى منى فصلبه عند الثنية في بطن الوادي ثم قال للناس انظروا إلى هذا شر الأمة فقال إني رأيت بن عمر جاء على بغلة له فذهب ليدنيها من الجذع فجعلت تنفر فقال لمولاها ويحك خذ بلجامها فأدنها قال فرأيته أدناها فوقف عبد الله بن عمر وهو يقول رحمك الله إن كنت صواما قواما ولقد أفلحت أمة أنت شرها
