Every night he had participated in Muaviehs evening parties and returned home with a mouth full of commendation and praise for Muavieh and his intelligence, sagacity and cleverness but tonight says: I have come from the company of the most malicious and unbelieving of persons? I thus asked the reason for this, saying: What happened? He replied: Muaviehs party was free of others and we were talking very privately with complete cordiality and sincerity. I said to him: "O' Amir al-Mu'meneen!

You have obtained your desires and wishes. Now, with your advanced age, how appropriate it would be for you to practice justice and treat others with kindness. If you were to look kindly upon you kin - Bani Hashem - and observe the bonds of relationship with them it is in order. I swear to God! Today they possess nothing that could arouse fear and alarm in you.

They are you paternal cousins, be good to them and observe the bonds of your relationship so that in the future you will be remembered in good terms". Muavieh answered: Woe is you! This desire is quite impossible and incapable of being carried out. Abu Bakr ruled and was just and bore all of those burdens, but by God! when he died his name died alongside him. Of course it is possible that someone will say: Abu Bakr!

Then Umar came to power, strived and suffered during those ten years but only a few days after his death nothing remained of him except that sometimes a speaker will say: Umar! Then our brother Uthman obtained the Caliphate. There was no man with a lineage like his! He did as he did and they treated him as they did but when he was killed, by God, his name also died and his actions and deeds were forgotten!

This is while the name of this man, the son of Abu Kabsheh (he means the Holy Prophet, this being the nick-name that the Quraishite infidels gave as a taunt to him) is called out five times everyday throughout the Islamic world, and is remembered in greatness: '---Arabic text---' O Motherless, under such circumstances what deed will be remembered and what good name is everlasting?! No by God! I will not sit still until I bury the name and bury this memory and favourable mention!

224 Muaviehs' Efforts To Achieve This Aim Muavieh remained faithful to his pledge and put all of his effort into achieving it. According to our belief these Hadiths were fabricated during Muaviehs time.
