Musnad Abu Ya'la al-Mawsili 53:7

Yahya ibn Ayyub narrated to us, Abbad ibn Abbad narrated to us, from al-Zubayr ibn Khirrit, from Nu’aym ibn Abi Hind, who said: I was sitting with Yazid ibn Abi Muslim during the days of al-Hajjaj, while he was punishing the people. He mentioned a man who was in prison, so he sent for him in a state of rage and anger. He was brought, and when he stood before him, I saw the man move his lips with something I did not hear. He [Yazid] raised his head toward him and said, "Release him," or he said, "Return him [to his place]." I stood up and went to the man and said, "I witnessed this man when he sent for you in a state of rage and anger, and I did not doubt that something would befall you. When you stood before him, I saw you move your lips with something I did not hear, and he ordered regarding you what you see. So what was it that you said?" He said, "I said: 'O Allah, I ask You by Your power with which You hold the seven heavens from falling upon one another, that You suffice me against him.'"
