It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that avoid narrating many ahadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) except for those ahadith which were commonly known during the time of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), because Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to warn people regarding matters of Allah. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: When Allah intends good for a servant, He grants him understanding of the religion.
And I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: I am only a treasurer, the real giver is Allah.

Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) went inside, then called me and said: ‘Do not do again what you just did. When you offer the Jumu’ah prayer, do not offer another prayer immediately after it until you have spoken or moved from your place, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that no prayer should be offered immediately after another until you have spoken or moved from your place.’”
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that you people perform such a prayer that, despite being in the company of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we never saw him performing this prayer; rather, he used to forbid it.
