حَدَّثَنَا
إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ ، أَنَّ
عُمَيْرَ بْنَ هَانِئٍ حَدَّثَهُ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَلَى هَذَا الْمِنْبَرِ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ :
لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي قَائِمَةً بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ ، أَوْ خَالَفَهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَهُمْ ظَاهِرُونَ عَلَى النَّاسِ " ، فَقَامَ مَالِكُ بْنُ يَخَامِرٍ السَّكْسَكِيُّ فَقَالَ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، سَمِعْتُ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ يَقُولُ : " وَهُمْ أَهْلُ الشَّامِ " ، فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ وَرَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ : هَذَا مَالِكٌ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُعَاذًا ، يَقُولُ : " وَهُمْ أَهْلُ الشَّامِ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "A group from my Ummah will always remain on the truth; they will not care about those who oppose them or those who abandon them, until the command of Allah comes and they will prevail over the people." Upon this, Malik bin Yukhamir Siksaki stood up and said: O Commander of the Believers! I heard Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) say that by this are meant the people of Sham. So Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) raised his voice and said: Malik is saying that he heard Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) say that by this are meant the people of Sham.
