Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32566 — Reports on talk about rulers

It is narrated from Abu Musa (may Allah have mercy on him) that Ziyad wrote a letter to the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), in this way: "From Ziyad bin Abi Sufyan," hoping that she too would write to him as "Ibn Abi Sufyan." The narrator said: She wrote in reply: "From the Mother of the Believers, Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), to her son Ziyad."
