حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ وَابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمَعْنَى قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي الْفَيْضِ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ يَقُولُ
كَانَ بَيْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَبَيْنَ الرُّومِ عَهْدٌ، وَكَانَ يَسِيرُ نَحْوَ بِلَادِهِمْ حَتَّى يَنْقَضِيَ الْعَهْدُ فَيَغْزُوَهُمْ، فَجَعَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى دَابَّةٍ يَقُولُ: وَفَاءٌ لَا غَدْرٌ، وَفَاءٌ لَا غَدْرٌ، فَإِذَا هُوَ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبَسَةَ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَنْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ قَوْمٍ عَهْدٌ فَلَا يَحُلَّ عُقْدَةً وَلَا يَشُدَّهَا حَتَّى يَمْضِيَ أَمَدُهَا، أَوْ يَنْبِذَ إِلَيْهِمْ عَلَى سَوَاءٍ، فَرَجَعَ مُعَاوِيَةُ ؓ

✧ There was a treaty between Mu'awiya and the Romans, and he would advance towards their lands until the treaty expired, then he would raid them. A man on a mount began saying: 'Fulfillment, not treachery; fulfillment, not treachery.' He was 'Amr b. 'Abasa. I asked him about that, and he said: 'I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: "Whoever has a treaty between him and a people, let him neither loosen a knot nor tighten it until its term passes, or he announces to them on equal terms." So Mu'awiya ؓ returned.'
