Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32576 — Reports on talk about rulers
٣٢٥٧٦ - حدثنا وكيع عن إسماعيل بن أبي خالد عن قيس قال: سمعت معاوية في مرضه الذي مات فيه حسر عن ذراعيه كأنهما عسيبا نخل، وهو يقول: واللَّه لوددت أني (أغبر فيكم) (١) فوق ثلاث، فقالوا: إلى رحمة اللَّه ومغفرته، فقال: ما شاء اللَّه أن يفعل ولو كره أمرًا غيره (٢).
Qays (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I heard Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) in his final illness, when he had bared his arms, which looked like palm branches, and he was saying: By Allah, I would wish to remain alive among you for more than three days. The people said: You will go to the mercy and forgiveness of Allah. He said: Allah Almighty does what He wills, and if He dislikes a matter, He changes it.
