كتاب الفتن عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم

Ibn Umar (رضي الله تعالى عنه) narrated that the Apostle of Allah ( صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said, ‘in Thaqif there will be a great liar and destroyer.’ Imam Tirmidhi said, this Hadith is Gharib as a narration of Ibn Umar (رضي الله تعالى عنه). There is a narration on this topic from Asma' bint Abu Bakr (رضي الله تعالى عنها). This Hadith is narrated through another chain. We do not know of it except through the report of Sharik. And Sharik would say, Abdullah bin Usma, while Isra'il would say, Abdullah bin Usmah. It is said that the liar was Al-Mukhtar bin Abi Ubaid, and the destroyer was Al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf. Abu Dawud Sulaiman bin Salm Al-Balkhi narrated to us that An-Nadr bin Shumail narrated to us, from Hisham bin Hassan who said, 'they counted how many (people) did Al-Hajjaj killed indiscriminately, so it reached one hundred and twenty thousand murders.’
