أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ النَّمَرِيُّ، ثنا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي الْفَيْضِ، عَنْ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، رَجُلٌ مِنْ حِمْيَرَ قَالَ: كَانَ بَيْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَبَيْنَ الرُّومِ عَهْدٌ، وَكَانَ يَسِيرُ نَحْوَ بِلَادِهِمْ حَتَّى إِذَا انْقَضَى الْعَهْدُ غَزَاهُمْ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى فَرَسٍ أَوْ بِرْذَوْنٍ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَفَاءٌ لَا غَدْرٌ، فَنَظَرُوا فَإِذَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبَسَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ مُعَاوِيَةُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ قَوْمٍ عَهْدٌ فَلَا يَشُدَّ عُقْدَةً وَلَا يُحِلَّهَا حَتَّى يَنْقَضِيَ أَمَدُهَا أَوْ يَنْبِذَ إِلَيْهِمْ عَلَى سَوَاءٍ "، فَرَجَعَ مُعَاوِيَةُ..
Sulaym bin Amir, a man of the tribe of Himyar, narrates that there was a covenant between Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) and the Romans. Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) was advancing towards their lands so that when the term of the covenant ended he could attack them. (Meanwhile) a man came riding a horse, saying in a loud voice: "Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest! Fulfil the covenant; do not betray." The people looked, and it was Sayyiduna Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) sent someone to him and asked (about it), and he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever has a covenant with a people should neither tighten any knot of it nor untie it until its term ends or he throws it back to them on equal terms." So Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) went back.
