Ahmad b. Ziyad b. Ja`far al-Hamadani narrated to us. He said: `Ali b. Ibrahim b. Hashim narrated to us from his father from Muhammad b. Abi `Umayr from Hamza b. Humran. He said: I visited Al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad , so he said to me:

O Hamza! Where have you come forward from? I said to him: From Kufa. He said: So, he wept until his tears soaked his beard. So, I said to him: O son of the Messenger of Allah! Why have you wept so much? So, he said: I remembered my uncle, Zayd, and what they did to him, so I wept. So, I said: What did you remember from that? So, he said: I remembered his killing. He was struck on his forehead with an arrow, so his son Yahya came to him and bent over him, and said to him: “Be glad, father, for you will be sent to the Messenger of Allah, `Ali, Fatima, al-Hasan, and al-Husayn (s).” He said: “Yes, my son.” Then, he called for a blacksmith, who took the arrow out of his forehead; and his soul went with it. He was taken to a waterwheel that flowed at a garden, and he was buried there as the water flowed over him. One of them had a servant from Sindh, and he went to Yusuf b. `Umar (the Umayyad governor) the next morning and informed him of his burial. So, Yusuf b. `Umar exhumed him and crucified him in Kunasa for four years. Then, it was ordered that he be burned and [his ashes] thrown into the wind. May Allah curse his killers and betrayers, and I complain to Allah of what has happened to the Ahl al-Bayt of His Prophet after his passing. We seek His help over our enemies, and He is the best helper.
