Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 27563 — A man writing to another man
٢٧٥٦٣ - حدثنا أبو معاوية عن ابن عون عن ابن سيرين قال: كانت لابن عمر حاجة إلى معاوية فأراد أن يكتب إليه (فقالوا) (١): لو بدأت به فلم يزالوا (به) (٢) حتى كتب: بسم اللَّه الرحمن الرحيم إلى معاوية (٣).
Ibn Sirin said that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) had some need of Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), so he intended to write to him. The people said: "It would be good if you began the letter with his name," and they kept on saying this until he wrote: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. To Mu'awiyah."
