And among the conditions that Al-Hasan (peace be upon him) imposed on Muawiya
1 - That Muawiya govern the believers according to the Book of Allah, the Sunnah of His Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), and the practices of the righteous caliphs who came after him.
2 - Muawiya has no right to appoint anyone after him; rather, the matter after him shall be decided by consultation among the Muslims.
3 - The people are safe wherever they are in the land of Allah, whether in their Levant, Iraq, Tihamah, or Hijaz.
4 - The companions of Ali (peace be upon him) and his followers are safe concerning themselves, their wealth, their women, and their blood, and they are guaranteed protection by Muawiya before Allah and His covenant.

It was mentioned that an agreement was reached between them on a peace treaty signed by both parties: I have translated it as we received it from its sources, verbatim.
Article One: To hand over authority to Muawiya on the condition that he acts according to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger [al-Mada'ini, as narrated by Ibn Abi al-Hadid in Sharh al-Nahj 4/8], and the practices of the righteous caliphs [Fath al-Bari, as narrated by Ibn Aqil in al-Nasa'ih al-Kafiya liman yatawala Muawiya, p. 156].
Article Two: That authority be for al-Hasan (peace be upon him) after him [Tarikh al-Khulafa' by al-Suyuti, p. 194, and al-Isaba 2/12-13, and Waqdi's Encylopedia 3/443], and Muawiya has no right to appoint it to anyone [al-Mada'ini, as narrated by Ibn Abi al-Hadid 4/8, and Al-Fusul al-Muhimma fi Ma'rifat Ahwal al-A'imma by Ibn Sabbagh and others].
Article Three: That cursing the Commander of the Faithful and holding rituals against him in prayer be stopped, and that Ali (peace be upon him) be mentioned only in good [al-Asfahani: Maqatil al-Talibiyyin, p. 26, Sharh al-Nahj 4/15]. Others said that he agreed on the condition that Ali (peace be upon him) not be cursed in his presence, and Ibn al-Athir said: He did not fulfill this agreement either.
Article Four: To hand over what is in the Treasury of Kufa, five thousand dirhams, to al-Hasan (peace be upon him), and that he have the tax from the House in Abjurd [al-Tabari 6/92, and al-Akhbar al-Tiwal, p. 218], and that two thousand dirhams be sent each year to his brother al-Husayn (peace be upon him), and the descendants of Banu Hashim be given preference in grants and prayers over the servants of Abd Shams.
Article Five: That no one from the people of Iraq be taken with injustice, and that the black and red be safe, and that what may occur from their slips be tolerated [al-Akhbar al-Tiwal, p. 218], on the condition that the people are safe wherever they are in the land of Allah, in their Greater Syria, Iraq, Tihama, and Hijaz [Futuh Ibn al-Athim 4/160].

- And when al-Hasan (peace be upon him) saw the failure of his companions, he sent to Abd Allah ibn Amir with conditions that he had stipulated to Muawiya, on the condition that he would hand over the caliphate to him. The conditions were:
1 - That no one from the people of Iraq be harmed, and that he would protect both the black and the red (tribes), and tolerate any mistakes they might make.
2 - That the revenue of Ahvaz be permanently assigned to him each year, and that two thousand be sent to his brother al-Husayn ibn Ali (peace be upon them) annually.
3 - And that the Banu Hashim be given precedence over the Banu Abd Shams in grants and stipends.
