Saboda tsayawa wa zalunci na al-Ḥajjāj ibn Yūsuf, an gicciye ‘Abdullāh ibn al-Zubayr a gaban Ka'aba mai alfarma a Makka, sannan aka jefa gawarsa a makabartar Yahudawa.

For confronting the tyranny of al-Ḥajjāj ibn Yūsuf, ‘Abdullāh ibn al-Zubayr  was crucified in front of the Sacred House in Mecca, and his body was thrown into the graveyard of the Jews.

Sai al-Ḥajjāj ya nufi gidan mahaifiyarsa, ‘Asmā’ 'yar Abū Bakr, surukar Annabi ﷺ. Ya ce mata, "Me kike ganin abin da na yi wa maƙiyin Allah yanzu?" yana nufin ɗanta, ‘Abdullāh ibn al-Zubair. Ko da yake al-Ḥajjāj yana ƙoƙarin tsoratar da zuciyarta, don kada mace mai matsayinta ta ƙara haifar da tawaye, wannan mace ce da wata annabci da ta ji kai tsaye daga bakin Annabi ﷺ ya ƙarfafa. Amsarta ita ce, "Ina ganin ka lalata rayuwarsa ta duniya ta hanyar lalata lahirarka... Manzon Allah ﷺ ya tabbatar mana cewa wanda zai fito daga Thaqīf zai zama maƙaryaci kuma mai kisa. Maƙaryacin mun gani, kuma game da mai kisan kuwa, ba ni da shakka cewa kai ne shi." Ba tare da ya ce uffan ba, al-Ḥajjāj ya tashi ya fita cikin kunya. Malaman hadisi sun yarda cewa maƙaryacin daga Thaqīf shi ne al-Mukhtār ibn Abī ‘Ubayd, wanda ya yi iƙirarin annabta.

Then al-Ḥajjāj marched to his mother’s house, ‘Asmā’ bint Abī Bakr , the Prophet’s صلى الله عليه وسلم sister-in-law. He said to her, “What do you think of what I have just done to the enemy of Allah?” referring to her son, ‘Abdullāh ibn al-Zubayr. Though al-Ḥajjāj was trying to strike fear in her heart, lest a person of her position inspire more rebellion, this was a woman strengthened by a prophecy she had heard directly from the Prophet’s صلى الله عليه وسلم lips. Her response was, “I think you have destroyed his worldly life by destroying your own afterlife… The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم has certainly told us that emerging from Thaqīf would be a liar and a murderer. The liar we have seen, and as far as the murderer is concerned, I have no doubt that you are him.” Without saying a single word, al-Ḥajjāj rose and exited in disgrace.305 Hadith commentators agree that the liar from Thaqīf was al-Mukhtār ibn Abī ‘Ubayd, who claimed prophethood.
