135 - Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥusayn narrated to me, ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Qarīb al-Aṣmaʿī narrated to us, saying: A man who witnessed that narrated to me, saying: "When she was brought to Ibn Ziyād, he gave orders regarding her, so her hands and feet were cut off, yet she did not utter a single word. He said: Then fire was brought to cauterize her, so when she saw the fire, she screamed. It was said to her: 'Your hands and feet were cut off and you did not speak, but when you saw the fire, you screamed before it was even brought near you?' She said: "It was not from your fire that I screamed, nor over your world that I grieved; rather, I was reminded by it of the Great Hellfire, so that which you saw of me was because of that." He said: Then he ordered that her eyes be gouged out, so she said: "O Allah, my grief in the world has lasted long, so grant joy to my eye in the Hereafter," then she passed away."

١٣٥ - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ قَرِيبٍ الْأَصْمَعِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ، أَدْرَكَ ذَاكَ قَالَ: " لَمَّا أُتِيَ بِهَا ابْنُ زِيَادٍ، أَمَرَ بِهَا فَقُطِعَتْ يَدَاهَا وَرِجْلَاهَا فَمَا نَبَسَتْ بِكَلِمَةٍ ⦗٩٩⦘ قَالَ: فَأَتَى بِنَارٍ لِتُكْوَى بِهَا فَلَمَّا رَأَتِ النَّارَ صَرَخَتْ فَقِيلَ لَهَا: قُطِعَتْ يَدَاكُ وَرِجْلَاكِ فَلَمْ تَكَلَّمِي، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتِ النَّارَ صَرَخْتِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تُدْنَى مِنْكِ؟ قَالَتْ: «لَيْسَ مِنْ نَارِكُمْ صَرَخْتُ، وَلَا عَلَى دُنْيَاكُمْ أَسِفْتُ، ذَكَرْتُ بِهَا النَّارَ الْكُبْرَى، فَكَانَ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُمْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ» قَالَ: فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَسُمِلَتْ عَيْنَاهَا، فَقَالَتْ: «اللَّهُمَّ قَدْ طَالَ فِي الدُّنْيَا حُزْنِي، فَأَقِرَّ بِالْآخِرَةِ عَيْنِي» ، ثُمَّ خَمَدَتْ
