Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32582 — Reports on talk about rulers
٣٢٥٨٢ - حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش عن عمرو بن مرة عن سعيد بن سويد قال: صلى بنا معاوية الجمعة بالنخيلة في الضحى، ثم خطبنا فقال: ما قاتلتكم لتصلوا ولا لتصوموا ولا لتحجوا ولا لتزكوا، وقد أعرف أنكم (تفعلون) (١) ذلك، ولكن إنما قاتلتكم (لأتأمر) (٢) عليكم، (وقد) (٣) أعطاني اللَّه ذلك وأنتم (له) (٤) كارهون (٥).
Sa'id bin Suwayd (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) led us in the Friday prayer at al-Nukhaylah in the forenoon, then he addressed us and said: I did not fight you so that you would start praying, nor so that you would start fasting, nor so that you would start performing Hajj, nor so that you would start paying zakah. I know well that you do all of these things. I fought you only so that I might rule over you. And Allah Almighty has given me this authority, though you dislike it.
