Hadith 37:221

Khalaf ibn Khalifah narrated to us, from his father, who said: I was informed 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; this is 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 a freedman of his, "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; you were indeed 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 أخبرت ان الحجاج حين قتل بن الزبير جاء به إلى منى فصلبه عند الثنية في بطن الوادي ثم قال للناس انظروا إلى هذا هذا شر الأمة فقال إني رايت بن عمر جاء على بغلة له فذهب ليدنيها من الجذع فجعلت تنفر فقال لمولى له ويحك خذ بلجامها فأدنها قال فرأيته أدناها فوقف عبد الله بن عمر وهو يقول رحمك الله ان كنت لصواما قواما ولقد أفلحت أمة أنت شرها
