3780. 'Umārah bin 'Umaiṛ said: "When the heads of 'Ubaidullāh bin Ziyād and his companions were brought, they were stacked in the Masjid at Ar-Raḥbah. 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 'Ubaidullāh bin Ziyād, 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." (Da'if)

Commentary
'Ubaidullāh bin Ziyād poked his stick in the nose and passed taunting remarks about Al-Ḥusain's beauty. Allāh ﷻ punished him in this world before the eyes of the people. A snake thrice entered his nostrils and came out. He was murdered by Ibrāhīm Austar in 66. A.H. in the month of Dhul Hijjah (Tuhfat Al-Aḥwadhī v. 4. p. 342).
