حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ، قَالَ: نَا السَّرِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ قَالَ: نَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ. عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ:
لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، دَقَّ الْبَابَ دَاقٌّ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: انْظُرُوا مَنْ هَذَا قَالُوا: مُعَاوِيَةُ، فَقَالَ: " ائْذَنُوا لَهُ " وَدَخَلَ، وَعَلَى أُذُنِهِ قَلَمٌ لَهُ يَخُطُّ بِهِ، فَقَالَ: " مَا هَذَا الْقَلَمُ عَلَى أُذُنِكَ يَا مُعَاوِيَةُ ؟ " قَالَ: قَلَمٌ أَعْدَدْتُهُ لِلهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ. قَالَ: " جَزَاكَ اللهُ عَنْ نَبِيَّكَ خَيْرًا، وَاللهِ مَا اسْتَكْتَبْتُكَ إِلَّا بِوَحْيٍ مِنَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَمَا أَفْعَلُ مِنْ صَغِيرَةٍ وَلَا كَبِيرَةٍ إِلَّا بِوَحْيِ مِنَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، كَيْفَ بِكَ لَوْ قَدْ قَمَّصَكَ اللهُ قَمِيصًا ؟ " يَعْنِي: الْخِلَافَةَ. فَقَامَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ: فَجَلَسَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَإِنَّ اللهَ مُقَمِّصٌ أَخِي قَمِيصًا ؟ قَالَ: " نَعَمْ، وَلَكِنْ فِيهِ هَنَاتٌ وَهَنَاتٌ وَهَنَاتٌ ". فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَادْعُ لَهُ. فَقَالَ: " اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِهِ بِالْهُدَى، وَجَنِّبْهُ الرَّدَى، وَاغْفِرْ لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَى

✧ When it was the day of Umm Habibah with the Prophet ﷺ, someone knocked on the door. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'See who this is.' They said: 'Mu'awiyah.' He said: 'Give him permission to enter.' He entered, and on his ear was a pen of his with which he writes. He said: 'What is this pen on your ear, O Mu'awiyah?' He said: 'A pen I have prepared for Allah and His Messenger.' He said: 'May Allah reward you well on behalf of your Prophet. By Allah, I did not employ you as a scribe except by revelation from Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and I do nothing, small or great, except by revelation from Allah, Mighty and Majestic. How will you be when Allah has clothed you with a garment?'—meaning the caliphate. Umm Habibah stood up and sat before him, and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, will Allah clothe my brother with a garment?' He said: 'Yes, but in it there are flaws, and flaws, and flaws.' She said: 'O Messenger of Allah, then supplicate for him.' He said: 'O Allah, guide him with guidance, keep him away from ruin, and forgive him in the Hereafter and in the first (life).'
