«أَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ صُرَدَ الْخُزَاعِيَّ خَرَجَ هُوَ وَالْمُسَيِّبُ بْنَ نَجَبَةَ الْفَزَارِيُّ فِي أَرْبَعَةِ آلَافٍ فَعَسْكَرَا بِالنَّخِيلَةِ يَطْلُبُونَ بِدَمِ الْحُسَيْنِ ؓ وَعَلَيْهِمْ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ صُرَدَ وَذَلِكَ لِمُسْتَهَلِّ رَبِيعٍ الْآخِرِ سَنَةَ خَمْسٍ وَسِتِّينَ ثُمَّ سَارُوا إِلَى عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ فَلَقُوا مُقَدِّمَتَهُ فَاقْتَتَلُوا فَقُتِلَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ صُرَدَ وَابْنُ نَجَبَةَ فِي شَهْرِ رَبِيعٍ الْآخِرِ»
