"عن معاوية بن أبى سفيان أنه خطب فقال أَقِيمُوا وُجُوهَكُم وَصُفُوفَكُم في صَلَاتِكُم، وَتَصَدَّقُوا وَلَا يَقُولُ الرَّجُلُ إِنِّى مُقِلٌ لَا شَئَ لى، فإِنَّ صَدَقَةَ الْمُقِلِّ أَفْضَلُ عِنْدَ الله مِنْ صَدَقَةِ الْمكْثِرِ، إِيَّاكُمْ وَقَذْفَ المُحْصَنَاتِ، وَلَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ سَمِعْتُ وَبَلَغنِى فَوَالله ليؤُخَذَنَّ بِهِ وَلَوْ كَانَ قَبل في عَهْدِ نُوحٍ".

"From Muʿāwiyah b. Abī Sufyān, that he gave a sermon and said: Set your faces and your rows straight in your prayer, and give charity. Let no man say, 'I am poor, I have nothing.' For the charity of the poor person is better with Allah than the charity of the one who has much. Beware of slandering chaste women. And let none of you say, 'I heard' or 'it reached me.' By Allah, he will surely be held to account for it, even if it was in the time of Nūḥ."
