An appeal to justice Is it not curious that those that curse the Sahaba are kaafir (as a general rule) whilst those that curse Imam 'Ali (as) are not kaafir but the Imam of Nasibis, whom Allah (swt) is pleased with? Now think about the personality being cursed, a Khalifa Rashid, the cousin and son in law of the Prophet (s) - Ali ibne abi Talib (as).

The phantom merits of Mu'awiya The aim of the writer (Abu Sulaiman) behind this passionate defense was to: Ansar.org states:"defend the writer of the revelation whom the Prophet peace be upon him said about: "O' Allah, make him guided, a guider, and guide people through him." [Sunan Al-Turmidhi, Book of "Virtues," Chapter of "Virtues of Mu'awiyah," #3842, see also Saheeh Al-Turmidhi #3018] Was Mu'awiya the writer of the revelation?

Ansar.org states:"It is a firm thing that Mu'awiyah was among the writers of the revelation. Muslim narrated in his Saheeh from Ibn Abbas that Abu Sufyan asked the prophet peace be upon him for three things: (He (Abu Sufyan) said to the prophet: "O' Prophet of Allah, give me three things." The prophet said: "yes." ... Abu Sufyan said: "Mu'awiyah, make him a writer (of the revelation) under your hands." The prophet answered: "Alright.") [Muslim with explanation.

Book of "Virtues of the ," Chapter of "Virtues of Abu Sufyan," vol.17, p.2501] Ahmad narrated in his Musnad, and Muslim from Ibn Abbas who says: (Once I was a kid playing with other boys when I looked behind and I saw the prophet peace be upon him coming towards us. So I said: "The prophet did not come to anyone but to me." So I went behind the door to hide. I did not feel until the prophet found me, grasped my neck, and pressed my shoulders gently.

The prophet said: "Go and call Mu'awiyah for me." And Mu'awiyah was his writer (of the revelation). So I went looking for Mu'awiyah and told him: "Go and answer the prophet of Allah peace be upon him because he needs you.") [Musnad Ahmed, vol.1, Musnad Ibn Abbas #2651, and Muslim with explanation, Book of "Al-Birr wa Al-Silah," #2604] These two hadeeths prove that Mu'awiyah was one of the writers of the revelation" Prominent Ulema of Ahl'ul Sunnah have not counted Mu'awiya as writer of the revelation One wonders to what extent Mu'awiya was the writer of the revelation, after all he embraced Islam following the conquest of Mecca, so the vast bulk of the revelation had already been revealed.
