Humayd bin Munhib (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that news reached Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) was reviling Sayyiduna Abu Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: "By Allah, what an evil thing he says about his uncle! But I will say nothing but good about Abu Abdullah (Sayyiduna al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam, may Allah be pleased with him); may the mercy of Allah be upon him, he was indeed a righteous man." (Then Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah, may Allah be pleased with him, related an incident:) Sayyiduna Abu Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) set out for a settlement of his, with Sayyidah Hind (may Allah be pleased with her) seated behind him on the mount, and I was a boy riding ahead of them on my donkey. Meanwhile, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) met us. Sayyiduna Abu Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Mu'awiyah! Get down so that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) may ride." So I got off the donkey and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) rode it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) went ahead of them for a little while, then turned to them and said: "O Abu Sufyan bin Harb! And O Hind bint Utbah! By Allah, you will surely die, then you will surely be raised (again), then the doer of good will enter Paradise and the evildoer the Fire. What I am telling you is the truth, and you are the first people to be warned." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited these verses of Surah Ha Mim al-Sajdah: "Ha Mim. A revelation from the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful," until he reached: "They both said: 'We come willingly.'" Sayyiduna Abu Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him (peace and blessings be upon him): "O Muhammad! Have you finished?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) got off the donkey and I mounted it again. At this Sayyidah Hind (may Allah be pleased with her) turned to Sayyiduna Abu Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Did you make my son get down for this lying sorcerer?" He replied: "By Allah, he is neither a sorcerer nor a liar."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) only with this chain, and Abu al-Sukayn is alone in narrating it."
