Hadith of Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7385 — Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan led us
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ الرَّقِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْفَيْضِ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ السُّلَمِيِّ قَالَ: صَلَّى بِنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ الْمَغْرِبَ ثَلَاثًا، " فَقَامَ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ، فَسَبَّحُوا بِهِ، فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنْ قُومُوا، فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ وَسَلَّمَ، انْصَرَفَ فَخَطَبَهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَعَلَ كَالَّذِي رَأَيْتُمُونِي فَعَلْتُ، وَلَوْلَا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ فَعَلَهُ لَمْ أَفْعَلْهُ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah bin Ali al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) led us in the three rak'ahs of Maghrib. He stood up after two rak'ahs (instead of sitting for the first sitting), so the people alerted him by saying Subhan Allah. At this he signalled to the people that they too should stand. Then when he had completed his prayer and said the salam, he turned towards the people, addressed them and said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) do exactly as you saw me do, and had I not seen him (peace and blessings be upon him) do so, I would never have done it."
