Hadith 854
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ يَقُولُ لأَخٍ لَهُ صَغِيرٍ: أَرْدِفِ الْغُلاَمَ، فَأَبَى، فَقَالَ لَهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ: بِئْسَ مَا أُدِّبْتَ، قَالَ قَيْسٌ: فَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ يَقُولُ: دَعْ عَنْكَ أَخَاكَ.
It is narrated from Qais bin Abi Hazim (may Allah have mercy on him) that I heard Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) saying to his younger brother: "Let this slave sit behind you on the ride." But he refused. Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "You have been badly brought up." Qais (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I heard Abu Sufyan saying: "Leave your brother to his own condition."
