Hadith of Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7382 — Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah addressed us in a sermon
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى قَالَ : وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِي ، عَنْ سُوَيْدٍ - وَلَمْ أَرَ عَلَيْهِ عَلَامَةَ السَّمَاعِ ، وَعَلَيْهِ « صَحَّ » ، فَشَكَكْتُ فِيهِ ، وَأَكْبَرُ ظَنِّي أَنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ - عَنْ ضِمَامِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْمَعَافِرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي قَبِيلٍ قَالَ : خَطَبَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ فِي يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّمَا الْمَالُ مَالُنَا وَالْفَيْءُ فَيْئُنَا ، مَنْ شِئْنَا أَعْطَيْنَا ، وَمَنْ شِئْنَا مَنَعْنَا ، فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الْجُمُعَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ ، قَالَ مِثْلَ مَقَالَتِهِ ، فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الْجُمُعَةُ الثَّالِثَةُ ، قَالَ مِثْلَ مَقَالَتِهِ ، فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ الْمَسْجِدَ ، فَقَالَ : كَلَّا ، بَلِ الْمَالُ مَالُنَا وَالْفَيْءُ فَيْئُنَا ، مَنْ حَالَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُ حَاكَمْنَاهُ بِأَسْيَافِنَا ، فَلَمَّا صَلَّى أَمَرَ بِالرَّجُلِ ، فَأُدْخِلَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَأَجْلَسَهُ مَعَهُ عَلَى السَّرِيرِ ، ثُمَّ أَذِنَ لِلنَّاسِ فَدَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، إِنِّي تَكَلَّمْتُ فِي أَوَّلِ جُمُعَةٍ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ أَحَدٌ ، وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ أَحَدٌ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الثَّالِثَةُ أَحْيَانِي هَذَا أَحْيَاهُ اللهُ ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : سَيَأْتِي قَوْمٌ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ ، فَلَا يُرَدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ ، يَتَقَاحَمُونَ فِي النَّارِ تَقَاحُمَ الْقِرَدَةِ ، فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِيَ اللهُ مِنْهُمْ ، فَلَمَّا رَدَّ هَذَا عَلَيَّ أَحْيَانِي ، أَحْيَاهُ اللهُ ، وَرَجَوْتُ أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَنِيَ اللهُ مِنْهُمْ .
Abu Qabil (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) addressed us in a sermon on a Friday and said: "In fact this wealth is our wealth, and this fay' is our fay'; we give to whomever we wish and withhold from whomever we wish." No one gave any reply to this statement of his. Then on the second Friday he said the same thing again, but still no one responded. Then on the third Friday, when he repeated the same thing, a man from among those present in the mosque stood up and said: "Not at all! Rather, the wealth is our wealth and the fay' is our fay'; whoever comes between us and it, we will settle the matter with him by our swords." When Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) had finished the prayer, he summoned that man; he was brought to him, and he seated him beside himself on the throne. Then he gave the people permission to enter, and they came in. Then he addressed the gathering and said: "O people! I spoke on the first Friday and no one checked me; on the second Friday too no one replied; but on the third Friday this man gave me life (by speaking the truth), may Allah give him life. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Soon there will come people who will speak (wrongly) and no one will rebut them; they will plunge blindly into the Fire as monkeys tumble over one another.' So I feared that Allah Almighty might make me one of them. But when this man rebutted me, he revived me, may Allah give him life, and now I have strong hope that Allah Almighty will not include me among those (threatened) people."
Imam Abu Ya'la (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I found it written in my book through Suwayd (may Allah have mercy on him); although I did not find on it the mark of my having heard it directly from him, the mark "sahih" was placed on it, because of which I was in doubt about having heard it, but my strongest supposition is that I heard this hadith from him.
