Musannaf Ibn Abi Shayba 27:267

'Abdah narrated to us, from Hisham ibn 'Urwah, from his father, who said: Yahya ibn Zakariyya was not killed except for a prostitute who said to her companion, "I will not be pleased with you until you bring me his head." He said: So he slaughtered him and brought her his head in a basin.
