Tirmidhi Book 49, Hadith 3780
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا جِيءَ بِرَأْسِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، وَأَصْحَابِهِ نُضِّدَتْ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فِي الرَّحَبَةِ، فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: قَدْ جَاءَتْ قَدْ جَاءَتْ، فَإِذَا حَيَّةٌ قَدْ جَاءَتْ تَخَلَّلُ الرُّءُوسَ حَتَّى دَخَلَتْ فِي مَنْخَرَيْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، فَمَكَثَتْ هُنَيْهَةً، ثُمَّ خَرَجَتْ، فَذَهَبَتْ حَتَّى تَغَيَّبَتْ، ثُمَّ قَالُوا: قَدْ جَاءَتْ قَدْ جَاءَتْ، فَفَعَلَتْ ذَلِكَ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا. هَذَا حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
Narrated 'Umarah bin 'Umair: When the heads of 'Ubaidullah bin Ziyad and his companions were brought, they were stacked in the Masjid at Ar-Rahbah. So I came to them and they were saying: 'It has come, it has come. And behold, there was a snake going between the heads, until it entered the nostrils of 'Ubaidullah bin Ziyad, and it remained there momentarily, then left and went until it had disappeared. Then they said: 'It has come, it has come.' So it did that two or three times.
