Explanation:
1:
And this supplication is not among those supplications of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) that were not accepted;
rather, it is among the accepted supplications.
It is thus established that Muawiyah (radi Allahu anhu) himself was upon guidance and was a standard of guidance for the people,
radi Allahu anhu.
