Hadith 1827

`Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says:` I was playing with children when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came. And I hid behind a door. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) patted me (affectionately) with his blessed hand and said, "Go and call Muawiyah." I went and then returned and said, "He is eating." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again said, "Go and call Muawiyah." I went again and returned and said, "He is eating." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "May Allah not fill his stomach." Ibn Musanna said: I asked Umayyah, "What does 'Hatta' mean?" He replied that it means the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) on the nape. (This hadith is also in the same meaning as mentioned in previous ahadith, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made a condition with Allah that if he ever said something contrary to reality for someone, it would become a mercy for him. Therefore, this hadith is among the virtues of Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him).)
