[Machine] Asma came with her neighbor and her eyesight had gone. She said, "Where is Al-Hajjaj?" We said, "He is not here." She said, "Then let him pass by us and command us regarding these bones, as I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: 'It is forbidden to imitate the creation of Allah.'" We said, "When he comes, we will inform him." She said, "When he comes, then inform him that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: 'There will emerge from Thaqif a liar and a deceiver.'"  

جَاءَتْ أَسْمَاءُ مَعَ جَوَارٍ لَهَا وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ بَصَرُهَا فَقَالَتْ أَيْنَ الْحَجَّاجُ؟ فَقُلْنَا لَيْسَ هَهُنَا قَالَتْ فَمُرُوهُ فَلْيَأْمُرْ لَنَا بِهَذِهِ الْعِظَامِ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «يَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُثْلَةِ» قُلْنَا إِذَا جَاءَ قُلْنَا لَهُ قَالَتْ فَإِذَا جَاءَ فَأَخْبِرُوهُ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَخْرُجُ فِي ثَقِيفٍ كَذَّابٌ وَمُبِيرٌ»  

[Machine] No, by Allah, he was not a hypocrite, and indeed he was a righteous and upright person. He said to her, "Be quiet, for you are an old woman who has become senile." She said, "I have not become senile since I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'A liar and instigator will come out of Ta'if.'" As for the liar, we have seen him, meaning Al-Mukhtar, and as for the instigator, you are the one, Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah has added. Al-Hajjaj said in his narration, "Mu'biro Al-Munafiqin," meaning the one who instigates the hypocrites.  

لَا وَاللهِ مَا كَانَ مُنَافِقًا وَلَقَدْ كَانَ صَوَّامًا قِوَامًا قَالَ اسْكُتِي فَإِنَّكِ عَجُوزٌ قَدْ خَرِفْتِ قَالَتْ مَا خَرِفْتُ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَخْرُجُ مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ كَذَّابٌ وَمُبِيرٌ» فَأَمَّا الْكَذَّابُ فَقَدْ رَأَيْنَاهُ تَعْنِي الْمُخْتَارَ وَأَمَّا الْمُبِيرُ فَأَنْتَ زَادَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ فَقَالَ الْحَجَّاجُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ مُبِيرُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ
