حَدِيثُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
Hadith of Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7380 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: All of you
حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « تَوَضَّؤُوا » قَالَ : فَلَمَّا تَوَضَّأَ نَظَرَ إِلَيَّ ، فَقَالَ : يَا مُعَاوِيَةُ ، إِنْ وُلِّيتَ أَمْرًا فَاتَّقِ اللهَ ، وَاعْدِلْ قَالَ : فَمَا زِلْتُ أَظُنُّ أَنِّي مُبْتَلًى بِعَمَلٍ لِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَتَّى وُلِّيتُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "All of you, perform ablution." He says: Then when he (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished his ablution, he (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at me and said: "O Mu'awiyah! If you are made the ruler of any affair, fear Allah Almighty and act with justice." Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Because of this blessed saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I kept thinking that I would soon be tested with some office of government and its responsibility, until I was entrusted with the position (of rule).
