أخبرني محمد بن أحمد بن تَمِيم الحَنظلي ببغداد، حَدَّثَنَا محمد بن العبّاس الكابُلِي (2)، حَدَّثَنَا أبو بكر بن أبي شَيْبة حدثني زيد بن الحُبَاب، عن عبد الله ابن لَهِيعة قال: حدثني أبو الأسْوَد، عن عُرْوة: أنَّ معاوية استَعمل على مصر بعد وفاة أخيه عَنبَسة بن أبي سفيان عُقبةَ بنَ عامرٍ الجُهَني، وذلك سنة أربع وأربعين، فأقام الحجَّ فيها معاويةُ. قال أبو بكر (1): فحدَّثني أبو بكر بنُ عيّاش، حَدَّثَنَا معروف بن يزيد (2) المكي، قال: بَيْنا عبدُ الله بن عبّاس جالسٌ في المسجد الحرام ونحن بين يديه، إذ أقبل معاويةُ فجلس إليه، فأعرَضَ عنه ابن عبّاس، فقال له معاوية: ما لي أراك مُعرِضًا؟ ألستَ تعلمُ أنِّي أحقُّ بهذا الأمر من ابن عمِّك؟ قال: لِمَ؟ قال: لأنَّهُ كان مسلمًا، وكنتَ كافرًا؟ قال: لا، ولكنِّي ابن عمِّ عثمان، قال: فابنُ عمِّه خيرٌ من ابن عمِّك، قال: إنَّ عثمان قُتِل مظلومًا، قال: وعندهما ابن عمر، فقال ابن عَبَّاس: فإنَّ هذا واللهِ أحقُّ بالأمر منك، فقال معاوية: إنَّ عمر قَتَله كافرٌ وعثمانَ قَتَلَه مسلمٌ، فقال ابن عَبَّاس: ذاك واللهِ أَدْحَضُ لحُجَّتِك (3).
It is narrated from Urwah that Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), after the death of his brother Anbasah bin Abi Sufyan, appointed Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) as governor of Egypt in the year 44 AH, and in that year Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) led the Hajj. Ma'ruf bin Yazid al-Makki says: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was sitting in the Sacred Mosque and we were in front of him, when Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) came and sat by him. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) turned away from him, so Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "What is the matter, that I see you turning away? Do you not know that I am more entitled to this matter (the caliphate) than your cousin (Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him)?" Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) asked: "Why? Is it because he (Ali) was a Muslim while you were a disbeliever?" Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "No, rather because I am the cousin of Uthman." He said: "Then his cousin is better than your cousin." Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Uthman was killed wrongfully." Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) was also present there, and Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "By Allah! This one (Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both) is more entitled to this matter than you." Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Umar was killed by a disbeliever, whereas Uthman was killed by a Muslim." Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "By Allah! That only weakens your argument further."
أخبرني محمد بن يعقوب الحافظ، أخبرنا محمد بن إسحاق الثَّقَفي، أخبرني أبو يونس، حَدَّثَنَا إبراهيم بن المنذر الحِزَامي قال: عُقبة بن عامر الجُهَني يُكْنَى أبا عمرو، توفي سنة اثنتين وخمسين (4).
It is narrated from Abu Yunus that Ibrahim bin al-Mundhir al-Hizami said: The kunyah of Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) was Abu Amr, and he passed away in the year 52 AH.
