Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1838 — when it was the turn of the Mother

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا السَّرِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ قَالَ : نَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ . عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ : لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- ، دَقَّ الْبَابَ دَاقٌّ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : انْظُرُوا مَنْ هَذَا قَالُوا : مُعَاوِيَةُ ، فَقَالَ : I " ائْذَنُوا لَهُ I " وَدَخَلَ ، وَعَلَى أُذُنِهِ قَلَمٌ لَهُ يَخُطُّ بِهِ ، فَقَالَ : I " مَا هَذَا الْقَلَمُ عَلَى أُذُنِكَ يَا مُعَاوِيَةُ ؟ I " قَالَ : قَلَمٌ أَعْدَدْتُهُ لِلهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ . قَالَ : I " جَزَاكَ اللهُ عَنْ نَبِيَّكَ خَيْرًا ، وَاللهِ مَا اسْتَكْتَبْتُكَ إِلَّا بِوَحْيٍ مِنَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، وَمَا أَفْعَلُ مِنْ صَغِيرَةٍ وَلَا كَبِيرَةٍ إِلَّا بِوَحْيِ مِنَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، كَيْفَ بِكَ لَوْ قَدْ قَمَّصَكَ اللهُ قَمِيصًا ؟ I " يَعْنِي : الْخِلَافَةَ . فَقَامَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ : فَجَلَسَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، وَإِنَّ اللهَ مُقَمِّصٌ أَخِي قَمِيصًا ؟ قَالَ : I " نَعَمْ ، وَلَكِنْ فِيهِ هَنَاتٌ وَهَنَاتٌ وَهَنَاتٌ I " . فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، فَادْعُ لَهُ . فَقَالَ : I " اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِهِ بِالْهُدَى ، وَجَنِّبْهُ الرَّدَى ، وَاغْفِرْ لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَى . I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ هِشَامٍ إِلَّا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : السَّرِيُّ I " .
It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that when it was the turn of the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her), with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), someone knocked at the door. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "See who this is." They said: "It is Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him)." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give him permission to come in." He entered with a pen resting on his ear, with which he used to write. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O Mu'awiyah, what is this pen on your ear?" He said: "It is a pen I have prepared for Allah and His Messenger." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May Allah reward you with good on behalf of your Prophet. By Allah, I did not assign you the task of writing except by revelation from Allah, and I do not do anything, small or great, except by revelation from Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. How will it be with you when Allah clothes you with a shirt?" meaning the caliphate. On hearing this, Sayyidah Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) got up, sat in front of him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, will Allah really clothe my brother with a shirt?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, but there will be many trials and tribulations in it." She said: "O Messenger of Allah, then pray for him." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Allahumma ihdihi bil-huda, wa jannibhu al-rada, waghfir lahu fil-akhirati wal-ula' (O Allah, keep him on the right path with guidance, protect him from ruin, and forgive him in the Hereafter and in this world).
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Hisham except Abdullah bin Yahya, and al-Sari bin Asim is alone in narrating it."
