Hadith 838
۞
8. And from the previous chain from Umar b. Sa’d from al-Qasim b. al-Asbagh b. Nubatah who said
“A man from the Banu Darim, who had witnessed the killing of Al-Husayn (as), came to us. He had a dark face, and he was a handsome and remarkably fair-skinned. I said to him, 'I could hardly recognize you because of the change in your complexion.' He replied, 'I killed a man from the companions of Al-Husayn who had the mark of prostration between his eyes, and I have brought his head.' So al-Qasim said: 'I saw him on a horse, riding cheerfully, with the head hung from his saddle, and the horse's reins were tied to its mane.' I said to my father, 'If he raised the head a little, you would see what the horse is doing with it using its hooves.' So my father replied to me: 'Oh son, what it does to me is even more severse.' He had informed me and said: 'I have not slept a night ever since the time I have murdered him, except that this martyr comes in my dreams, holds my shoulder and asks me to come and takes me towards Hell and throws me inside it, and I would scream.' Al-Qasim said, 'I heard his neighbor say, 'We can't sleep at night because of his screaming.' He said that he and a few persons from the tribe came to his wife and asked her. She told them: 'He himself had done so and what he has been truthful with you.'“
