Hadith 268
268 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ ذَرِيحٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ: كَتَبَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ إِلَي عَائِشَةَ أَنِ اكْتُبِي إِلَيَّ بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتِيهِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: فَكَتَبَتْ إِلَيْهِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّهُ مَنْ يَعْمَلْ بِغَيْرِ طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ يَعُودُ حَامِدُهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ ذَامًّا»
Imam Sha’bi narrates: Sayyiduna Mu’awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote a letter to Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyidah A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), asking her to write back to him something she had heard from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). So Sayyidah A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) wrote back to him: I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: “Whoever disobeys Allah Almighty, then among the people, those who praise him will become his critics.”
