138 - Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥusayn narrated to me, Khālid ibn Khidāsh narrated to me, Sālim ibn ʿUmar narrated to us, saying: Sālim al-Hilālī prayed over a funeral procession, then sat in the shade of the palace of Aws, and said to his companions: "Is not every death upon a bed uncertain?" Then he said: "Do you know what the condition of your sister al-Shajjāʿ was?" They said: "And what was her condition?" He said: "Ibn Ziyād cut off her hands and feet and gouged out her eyes, yet she did not even say 'Ouch!' So she was asked about that, and she said: "The terror of what lies ahead has distracted me from the pain of your iron.""

١٣٨ - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، حَدَّثَنِي خَالِدُ بْنُ خِدَاشٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَالِمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ: صَلَّى سَالِمٌ الْهِلَالِيُّ عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ، ثُمَّ قَعَدَ فِي ظِلِّ قَصْرِ أَوْسٍ، فَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ: أَلَا إِنَّ كُلَّ مَيْتَةٍ عَلَى الْفِرَاشِ فَهِيَ ظَنُونٌ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا كَانَ حَالُ أُخْتِكُمُ الشَّجَّاءِ؟ قَالُوا: وَمَا كَانَ حَالُهَا؟ قَالَ: قَطَعَ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ يَدَيْهَا وَرِجْلَيْهَا وَسَمَلَ عَيْنَهَا، فَمَا قَالَتْ: حَسِّ، فَقِيلَ لَهَا فِي ذَلِكَ. فَقَالَتْ: «شَغَلَنِي هَوْلُ الْمَطْلَعِ عَنْ أَلَمِ حَدِيدِكُمْ هَذَا»
