"عَن عمرو بن يحيى بن سعيد الأموى عن جده أن أبا (سفيان) دخل على عمر بن الخطاب فعزاهُ عمر بابنه يزيد قال: آجرك اللَّه في ابنك يا أبا سفيان، فقال: أى بنىَّ يا أمير المؤمنين؟ قال: يزيدُ، قال: فمن بعثتَ على عملهِ؟ قال: معاوية أخاه، وقال عمر: ابناك مصلحان، وإنه لا يحلُّ لنا أن ننزع مصلحًا".

“From 'Amr ibn Yahya ibn Sa'id al-Umawi, from his grandfather, that Abu Sufyan entered upon 'Umar ibn al-Khattab and consoled him over his son Yazid. He said: “May Allah reward you for your son, O Abu Sufyan.” He said: “Which of my sons, O Commander of the Believers?” He said: “Yazid.” He said: “Whom have you sent to his work?” He said: “Mu'awiyah, his brother.” 'Umar said: “Your two sons are reformers, and it is not lawful for us to remove a reformer.”
