قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ عُمَيْرٍ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ ؓ:
مَا زِلْتُ أَطْمَعُ فِي الْخِلَافَةِ مُنْذُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا قَالَ: يَا مُعَاوِيَةُ، إِنْ مَلَكْتَ فَأَحْسِنْ
