عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَقْطَعَهُ أَرْضًا قَالَ فَأَرْسَلَ مَعِيَ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَنْ أَعْطِيهَا إِيَّاهُ أَوْ قَالَ أَعْلِمْهَا إِيَّاهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي مُعَاوِيَةُ أَرْدِفْنِي خَلْفَكَ فَقُلْتُ لَا تَكُونُ مِنْ أَرْدَافِ الْمُلُوكِ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَعْطِنِي نَعْلَكَ فَقُلْتُ انْتَعِلْ ظِلَّ النَّاقَةِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا اسْتُخْلِفَ مُعَاوِيَةُ أَتَيْتُهُ فَأَقْعَدَنِي مَعَهُ عَلَى السَّرِيرِ فَذَكَّرَنِي الْحَدِيثَ فَقَالَ سِمَاكٌ أَحَدُ الرُّوَاةِ فَقَالَ وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ حَمَلْتُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Wa’il bin Hujr (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) allotted him a piece of land and sent Sayyiduna Mu’awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) with him so that he could give me this land or point it out to me. Sayyiduna Wa’il (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Sayyiduna Mu’awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Let me ride behind you, but I said: O Mu’awiyah! You are not among those who ride behind kings (or become their deputies). He said: Then give me your shoe (so that I may protect myself from the harshness of the ground), I said: Walk in the shade of the she-camel. Then, when Sayyiduna Mu’awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) was chosen as caliph and I went to him, he seated me with him on the throne and reminded me of this incident. I said: Now I wish that I had seated you in front of me.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Sayyiduna Wa’il radi Allahu anhu was a prince of Himyar, and at that time Sayyiduna Amir Mu’awiyah radi Allahu anhu’s financial condition was not good. Due to unfamiliarity with Islamic etiquette and lack of knowledge of the teachings of the religion, Sayyiduna Wa’il radi Allahu anhu behaved in this manner with Sayyiduna Mu’awiyah radi Allahu anhu. The demands of human sympathy and good conduct were something else, and later on, he also became aware of this.
