22432 - Zayd ibn al-Habab narrated to us, he said: Hussein narrated to us, saying: Abdullah ibn Buraydah narrated to us, who said: My father and I entered upon Muawiyah, and he seated us on cushions. Then food was brought to us, and we ate. After that, drinks were brought, and Muawiyah drank, then handed it to my father. He then said: "I have not drunk this since it was forbidden by the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny)." Muawiyah said: "I was one of the most handsome young men of Quraysh and the best in appearance. There was nothing I found as pleasurable as I found it when I was young, except for milk or a person with pleasant speech telling me a story."

8022 - Narrated from Abdullah ibn Buraydah, who said: "I entered with my father upon Muawiyah, and we were seated on a bed. Then food was brought to us, and we ate. After that, drinks were brought, and Muawiyah drank, then handed a drink to my father." Then Muawiyah said: "You know, I was the most handsome young man of the Quraysh and the best in demeanor, and there is nothing I find as pleasurable as I found it when I was young, except for milk and a pleasant-speaking person telling me stories." Ahmad narrated this, and its narrators are the narrators of Sahih, and there is something in Muawiyah's statement that I left out.

4616 - Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Hamdan narrated to us, saying: Al-Hasan ibn Sufyan narrated to us, saying: Isma'il ibn Musa al-Suddi narrated to us, from Abu Tamila Yahya ibn Wadih, from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, from Burda ibn Sufyan from Muhammad ibn Kab al-Qurazi, who said: Abd al-Rahman ibn Sahel al-Ansari participated in a ghazwa during the time of Uthman and Muawiya, when he was the governor of Syria. A caravan of wine was passing by him, being transported to Muawiya, and he stood up to it with his spear and tapped each caravan of it. His boys tried to provoke him until the matter reached Muawiya. Muawiya said: 'Leave him, for he is a man whose mind is gone.' Abd al-Rahman replied: 'By Allah, you lie! My mind has not gone,' but the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) forbade us from filling our bellies and skins. And I swear by Allah that if I remain until I see in Muawiya what I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), I will surely pierce his abdomen and die defending him.

Musnad Suhayb ibn Sinan ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) - Ubayd ibn Rafi' from Ubadah
Volume: (3) - Page Number: (172)
1258 - Muhammad ibn Ishaq al-Sughani narrated to us, saying: Muhammad ibn Abbad narrated to us, saying: Yahya ibn Sulaim narrated to us, from Ibn Khathaym from Isma'il ibn Ubayd ibn Rafi' from his father, that Ubadah ibn al-Samit saw a cart carrying wine while he was in al-Sham and said: What is this, vinegar? It was said: No, rather it is wine being sold for so-and-so. So he took a blade from the market and stood up to it, leaving no jar without puncturing it. And Abu Hurayrah was then in al-Sham, so so-and-so sent a message to Abu Hurayrah, saying: Will you not restrain your brother Ubadah ibn al-Samit? In the mornings, he goes to the market and disrupts the shops of the People of the Book, and in the evenings, he sits in the mosque with nothing to do except speak ill of our women and criticize us. So, restrain your brother. Abu Hurayrah walked until he entered upon Ubadah and said: O Ubadah, what is it with you and Mu'awiyah? Leave him and what he carries, for Allah says: {That was a community that has passed; they will have what they earned, and you will have what you earn} (Surah al-Baqarah 2:134). Ubadah replied: O Abu Hurayrah, you were not with us when we pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny). We pledged to him on listening and obedience in times of eagerness and laziness, on spending in times of hardship and ease, on enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and to speak the truth about Allah, not to be deterred by the reproach of a reproacher in Allah, and to support him if he comes to us in Yathrib, defending him with what we would defend ourselves, our wives, and our families against, and Paradise is for us. Whoever is faithful to what he pledged to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) will have Paradise from Allah for it. Whoever breaks their pledge, they only break it upon themselves. Abu Hurayrah said nothing further to him. So, so-and-so wrote to Uthman in Medina that Ubadah ibn al-Samit is causing corruption upon me in al-Sham and its people, so either restrain Ubadah ibn al-Samit from us, or let me deal with him as he wishes in al-Sham. Uthman wrote to so-and-so, saying: Bring him into your house in the city. So, so-and-so sent Ubadah ibn al-Samit until he arrived in the city and entered upon Uthman in a house that had no one in it except a man from the early Muslims and, from the followers, those who had encountered the Companions in sufficient numbers. Uthman did not intend anything with Ubadah except that he was sitting in a corner of the house. He turned to him and said: What is it between us and you, O Ubadah? Ubadah stood up and straightened himself in the house, saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), Abu al-Qasim, say: After me, men will take charge of your affairs who know you better than you know yourselves and will deny you what you know. So, there is no obedience to one who disobeys Allah. Do not be led astray about your Lord. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Ubadah, so-and-so is indeed one of those. Uthman did not respond to him with a word.

7969 - Ibn Asakir: In his Tarikh (History) from Abdul Rahman ibn Sahel ibn Zaid ibn Kab ibn al-Ansari, who witnessed Uhud and the Trench, and even Ibn Abdul Barr stated that he was present at Badr. Regarding Ibrahim ibn Tahman, al-Dhahabi نقل (nach Kamariné) from some that he was weakened. Ibn Asakir included in the biography of this Abdul Rahman information suggesting that the reason for his narration of this hadith was that Abdul Rahman participated in a military expedition during the time of Uthman and Muawiyah, who was the governor of Syria when wine vessels passed by him. He poked each vessel with his spear, and young boys challenged him until it reached Muawiyah. He said, "Leave him, for he is an elder whose mind has slipped." Abdul Rahman replied, "You have lied by Allah; my mind has not slipped. Rather, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) forbade us from allowing it into our stomachs and vessels." And I swear by Allah that if I live to see in Muawiyah what I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), I will surely disembowel him, first and foremost, twice."

He said: And he is the one who narrated that Muhammad ibn Ka'ab al-Qudhi said: Abdur Rahman ibn Sahil al-Ansari fought in a campaign during the time of Uthman and Muawiyah, who was the governor of the Levant when he passed by water skins carrying wine. Abdur Rahman stood up to them and pierced them with his spear, but the young men tried to stop him. When the news reached Muawiyah, he said: Leave him, for he is a man of old age who has lost his mind. Abdur Rahman replied: By Allah, my mind is not lost, but the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) forbade us from having wine enter our bellies and containers. The three of them recorded this.

His young men tried to confront him until the matter reached Muawiyah. He said: "Let him be, for he is an old man whose mind is gone." Abd al-Rahman replied: "By Allah, you lie! My mind has not gone, but the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) forbade us from letting it enter our bellies and our vessels. And I swear by Allah that if I remain until I see in Muawiyah what I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), I will surely pierce his belly or die trying."

- Abu al-Fadl Muhammad and Abu Asim al-Fadail, the sons of Isma'il al-Mu'adilani, informed us in Herat, saying: Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Khalili said: Ali ibn Ahmad ibn al-Hasan al-Khuzai said: Abu Sa'id al-Haytham ibn Klayb al-Shashi narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Ishaq al-Saghani narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Abbas narrated to us: Yahya ibn Sulaym narrated to us from Ibn Khuthaym from Isma'il ibn Ubayd ibn Rifa'ah from his father: that Ibadah ibn al-Samit passed by a droplet (of alcohol) while he was in Syria, being transported, and he said: What is this, vinegar? It was said: No, rather it is wine being sold for so-and-so. So he took a knife from the market, stood up to it, and left not a container in it without piercing it. And Abu Hurayrah was then in Syria. So so-and-so sent a message to Abu Hurayrah, saying: Will you not restrain your brother Ibadah ibn al-Samit? Is he not going out in the mornings to the market to disrupt the businesses of the People of the Scripture, and in the evenings sitting in the mosque with nothing to do except curse our honor and criticize us? So restrain your brother from us. Abu Hurayrah began to walk until he entered upon Ibadah and said: O Ibadah, what do you have to do with Muawiyah? Leave him and what he carries, for Allah says: {That was a community that has passed; they will have what they earned, and you will have what you earn} (Surah al-Baqarah 2:134). Ibadah said: O Abu Hurayrah, you were not with us when we pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny). We pledged to him obedience and submission in both vigor and laziness, in spending in both hardship and ease, in enjoining what is good and forbidding what is wrong, and to speak the truth about Allah without being deterred by the blame of any blamer, and to defend him if he comes to us in Yathrib, protecting him from what we protect ourselves, our wives, and our families from, with Paradise for us. Whoever is faithful to Allah in this, Allah will grant him Paradise for what he pledged upon, and whoever breaks his pledge, it is only to his own detriment. Abu Hurayrah did not speak to him further. So so-and-so wrote to Uthman in Medina, "Ibadah ibn al-Samit is causing corruption among Ali and the people of Syria. Either restrain Ibadah, or let him be free to do as he wishes in Syria." Uthman wrote to so-and-so, "Relocate him to his home in Medina." So so-and-so sent him to Medina, and he arrived and entered upon Uthman in a house that contained only a man from the early Muslims, present in body, among the Followers who had caught up with the people. Uthman did not notice him except that he was sitting in a corner of the house. He turned to him and said: What do we have to do with you, O Ibadah? Ibadah stood up and straightened himself in the house, saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), Abu al-Qasim, say: "After me, men will take charge of your affairs who know you better than you know yourselves, and will deny you what you recognize." So there is no obedience to one who disobeys. Do not make excuses with your Lord, for by the One in whose hand is the soul of Ibadah, so-and-so is indeed one of those." Uthman did not respond to him with a word.

- I read to Abi al-Fadl ibn Nasir, who narrated from Abi Tahir Muhammad ibn Ahmad, who said: Hibatullah ibn Ibrahim ibn Umar narrated to me: Abu Bakr al-Muhandis narrated to me: Abu Bashr al-Duvalabi narrated to me: Muhammad ibn Awf al-Tayi narrated to me: Ali ibn Iyash narrated to me: Ayyub ibn Sa'id ibn Ayyub, Abu Mansur al-Sukuni, from Amr ibn Qays, who said: Ubadah ibn al-Samit came to the chamber of Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan while he was in Antakya (Antioch) and pressed his back against the chamber, turning his face to the people and saying: "I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) and I do not care in Allah's cause the blame of any blamer, except that Miqdad ibn al-Aswad was seen yesterday handling a donkey." He continued: And large amounts of wealth began to arrive, and the people stretched their necks towards it. Ubadah said: "O people, this is only to carry wine, and by Allah, it is not permissible for the owner of this chamber to give you anything from it, nor is it permissible for you to ask him for anything," even if it were a small portion, meaning a share, in the side of one of you. Then a man approached Miqdad ibn al-Aswad, holding a stick in his hand, and he began to use it on the donkey, saying: "O Muawiya, this is your donkey; tend to it until it brings you to the chamber."

3230 - Abdullah ibn al-Harith ibn Umayyah ibn Abd Shams ibn Abd Manaf visited Muawiya while he was old. Abu Ali al-Husayn ibn al-Qasim al-Kawkubiyya mentioned that Ahmad ibn Ubayd narrated to us, saying: Hussein ibn Alawan al-Kalbi narrated to us from Unbasa ibn Amr, who said: Abdullah ibn al-Harith ibn Umayyah ibn Abd Shams visited Muawiya, and he brought him close until his knees touched his head. Then Muawiya said to him: "What remains of you?" He replied: "By Allah, both my good and my evil have gone." Muawiya said: "By Allah, the better part of your heart has gone, and much evil remains. What do you have for us?" He said: "If you do good, I will not praise you; and if you do evil, I will not blame you." Muawiya replied: "By Allah, you have not been fair to me." He asked: "When have you been fair to me? By Allah, you have wounded your brother Hanzala, yet I have not given you reason or retribution, and I am the one who says:
'You, Sakar ibn Harb, we cannot count you a lord, while others thrived when you were not a lord.'
And you are the one who says:
'I drank wine until I became a burden, both to the lesser and I have no friend.'
'And even what is placed upon a pillow * will turn to dust in the vast abyss.'
So he jumped on Muawiya, striking him with his hands, while Muawiya stepped back and laughed."
