Abu al-Fayd narrates: I was present with Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) when he gave Sayyiduna al-Miqdad bin al-Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) a donkey. Then one of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), whose name was Sayyiduna al-Irbad bin Sariyah (may Allah be pleased with him), stood up and said: "Why have you accepted it? And what right does Mu'awiyah have to give it to you? It is as if I am looking at you right now, that on the Day of Resurrection you will be carrying it on your neck with its head hanging down."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. The narrator Abu al-Fayd did not reach the time of Sayyiduna al-Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna al-Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) did not reach the time of the caliphate of Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him).
