1114 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to us; al-Nadhr ibn Shumayl narrated to us; Sulayman al-Aʿmash narrated to us; from Yahya ibn Waththab, that Ibn al-Zubayr would remain in prostration so long that sparrows would settle upon his back, taking him for nothing but a piece of the wall.
١١١٤ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ وَثَّابٍ، أَنَّ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، كَانَ يَسْجُدُ حَتَّى تَنْزِلَ الْعَصَافِيرُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ لَا تَحْسَبُهُ إِلَّا جِذْمَ حَائِطٍ "
