Abu Muslim al-Nakha'i, the narrator of the account of "the four heads" in the government house of Kufa. ¹

He relates that the head of al-Husayn was before Ibn Ziyad, then Ibn Ziyad's head was before al-Mukhtar, then al-Mukhtar's head was before Mus'ab, and then Mus'ab's head was before Abd al-Malik. Abd al-Malik leapt up and ordered the arch above the assembly room to be torn down. ¹
