Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 2546 — I saw Sayyiduna Hasan bin Ali

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِالنَّخِيلَةِ حِينَ صَالَحَهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ: إِذَا كَانَ ذَا فَقُمْ فَتَكَلَّمْ، وَأَخْبِرِ النَّاسَ أَنَّكَ قَدْ سَلَّمْتَ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ لِي. وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: أَخْبِرِ النَّاسَ بِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ الَّذِي تَرَكْتَهُ لِي. فَقَامَ فَخَطَبَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ - قَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ: وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ - ثُمَّ قَالَ: " أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَإِنَّ أَكْيَسَ الْكَيْسِ التُّقَى، وَإِنَّ أَحْمَقَ الْحُمْقِ الْفُجُورُ، وَإِنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ الَّذِي اخْتَلَفْتُ فِيهِ أَنَا وَمُعَاوِيَةُ إِمَّا كَانَ حَقًّا لِي تَرَكْتُهُ لِمُعَاوِيَةَ إِرَادَةَ صَلَاحِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ، وَحَقْنِ دِمَائِهِمْ، أَوْ يَكُونُ حَقًّا كَانَ لِامْرِئٍ أَحَقَّ بِهِ مِنِّي، فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ، {وَإِنْ أَدْرِي لَعَلَّهُ فِتْنَةٌ لَكُمْ وَمَتَاعٌ إِلَى حِينٍ} [الأنبياء: ١١١]
Al-Sha'bi said: I saw Sayyiduna Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) at al-Nukhaylah when Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) made peace with him. Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "When this is done, stand up and speak, and tell the people that you have handed this matter over to me." (The narrator Sufyan sometimes said: Tell the people about this matter which you have left to me.) So he stood up and delivered a sermon from the pulpit, praising and extolling Allah - al-Sha'bi said: and I was listening - then he said: "To proceed: the greatest wisdom is piety, and the greatest foolishness is sin. This matter in which Mu'awiyah and I differed was either my right, which I left to Mu'awiyah, desiring the well-being of this Ummah and to spare their blood, or it was the right of someone more entitled to it than me, so I did that. 'And I do not know; perhaps it is a trial for you and an enjoyment for a time.' [Surah al-Anbiya: 111]."
