Yahya narrated it on the authority of his uncle that he had been sitting in the company of Mu'awiyah bin Abu Sufyan (RA) when the Mu'adhdhin called (Muslims) to prayer. Mu'awiyah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying : The Mu'adhdhins will have the longest necks on the Day of Resurrection.

'Umar bin 'Ata' bin Abu Khuwar said that Nafi' bin Jubair sent him to al- Sa'ib the son of Namir's sister with a view to asking him about what he had seen in the prayer of Mu'awiyah. He said: Yes, I observed the Jumu'a prayer along with him in Maqsura and when the Imam pronounced salutation I stood up at my place and observed (Sunan rak'ahs). As he entered (the apartment) he sent for me and said: Do not repeat what you have done. Whenever you have observed the Jumu'a prayer, do not observe (Sunan prayer) till you, have talked or got out for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had ordered us to do this and not to combine two (types of) prayers without talking or going out.

Mu'awiyah said: Be cautious about ahadith except those which were current during the reign of Umar, for he exhorted people to fear Allah, the Exalted and Majestic. I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: He upon whom Allah intends to bestow goodness, He confers upon him an insight in religion; and I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: I am the treasurer. To one whom I give out of (my own) sweet will, he would be blessed in that, but he whom I give (yielding to his constant begging and for his covetousness is like one who would eat, but would not be satisfied.

Mu'awiyah reported AUah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Do not beg importunately, for, I swear by Allah, none of you who asks me for anything and manages to get what he asks for when I disapprove to it will he be blessed in that which I give him.

'Amr bin Dinar reported from Wahb bin Munabbih: I went to his house in San'a' and he offered me nuts grown in his house to eat. And his brother said: I heard Mu'awiyah bin Abu Sufyan (RA) saying that he had heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying, and then he made a mention (of a hadith) like one mentioned above.

Abdul Rahman bin Auf reported: I heard Mu'awiyah bin Abu Sufyan (RA) saying in an address that he had heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: He to whom Allah intends to do good, He gives him insight into religion. And I am only the distributor while Allah is the Bestower.

Abdul Rahman reported that he heard Mu'awiyahh bin Abu Sufyan (RA) delivering a sermon in Madinah. i. e. when he came there (for Hajj). He delivered a sermon on the day of 'Ashura and said: People of Madinah, where are your scholars? I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say on this very day: It is the day of 'Ashura. Allah has not made fasting on This day obligatory for you but I am fasting. He who likes to observe fast among you should do so, and he who likes not to observe it may not observe it.

Ibn Abbas (RA) reported that Mu'awiyah bin Abu Safyin had told him: I clipped the hair (from the head of) Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him) with a clipper while he was at al-Marwah, or I saw him getting his hair clipped with a clipper as he was at al-Marwah. 1722

It his been narrated on the authority of Umair bin Umm Hani who said: I heard Mu'awiyah say (while delivering a sermon from the pulpit) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: A group of people from my Umma will continue to obey Allah's Command, and those who desert or oppose them shall not be able to do them any harm. They will be dominating the peeple until Allah's Command is executed (i. e. Resurrection is established).

It has been related by, Yazid bin al-Asamm that he heard Mu'awiyah bin Abu Sfyan quote a tradition from the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) which he related from the Prophet (ﷺ) (mail peace be upon him) -and he did not hear him quote from the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) (masy peace be upon him) any tradition other than this in the course of his sermon from the pulpit-that whom Allah wants to do a favour, He grants him an understanding of religion. A group of people from the Muslims will remain on the Right Path and continue until the Day of Judgment to triumph over those who oppose them.

Abdul Rahman bin 'Auf said that he heard Mu'awiyah b Sufyan during the season of Hajj. (saying) as he sat upon the pulpit holding a bunch of hair in his hand which was (previously) in the hand of his sentinel: O people of Madinah, where are your scholars? I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbidding this and saying: That the people of Bani Isra'il were ruined at the time when their women wore shuch hair.

Sa'id bin Musayyib reported: Mu'awiyah came to Madinah and he addressed us and he took out a bunch of hair and said: What do I see that one of you does but that what the Jews did? (I can well recall) that when this act (adding of artificial hair) reached Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , he named it as cheating.

Sa'id bin Musayyib reported that Mu'awiyah said one day: Should I narrate to you the evil make-up. Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) forbade cheating. It was during that time that a person came with a staff and there was a cloth on its head, whereupon Mu'awiyah said: Behold, that is cheating. Qatada said: This implies how women artificially increase their hair with the help of rags.

Abu Ishaq reported: I was sitting with 'Abdullah bin 'Utba and there was a discussion about the age of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . Some of the persons said: Abu Bakr (RA) was older than Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . 'Abdullah said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) died when he was sixty-three, and Abu Bakr (RA) died when he was sixty-three and so 'Umar fell as a martyr when he was sixty-three. A person from the people who was called 'Amir bin Sa'd reported that Jabir had said: We were sitting with Mu'awiyah that there was a discussion about the age of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . Thereupon Mu'awiyah said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) died when he had attained the age of sixty-three, and Abu Bakr (RA) died when he had attained the age of sixty-three, and Umar fell as a martyr when he had attained the age of sixty-three.

Jabir reported that he heard Mu'awiyah say in his address that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) died at the age of sixty-three, so was the case with Abu Bakr (RA) and 'Umar, and I (am now) sixty-three.

Abu Sa'id Khudri reported that Mu'awiyah went to a circle in the mosque and said: What makes you sit here? They said: We are sitting here in order to remember Allah. He said: I adjure you by Allah (to tell me whether you are sitting here for this very purpose)? They said: By Allah, we are sitting here for this very purpose. Thereupon, he said: I have not demanded you to take an oath, because of any allegation against you and none of my rank in the eye of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) is the narrator of so few ahadith as I am. The fact is that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went out to the circle of his Companions and said: What makes you sit? They said: We are sitting here in order to remember Allah and to praise Him for He guided us to the path of Islam and He conferred favours upon us. Thereupon he adjured by Allah and asked if that only was the purpose of their sitting there. They said: By Allah, we are not sitting here but for this very purpose, whereupon he (the Messenger) said: I am not asking you to take an oath because of any allegation against you but for the fact that Gabriel (ؑ) came to me and he informed me that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, was talking to the angels about your magnificence.
