حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَزِيدَ الْقَرَاطِيسِيُّ ثنا الْمُعَلَّى الْقَعْقَاعِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ الْغَسَّانِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ الْأَلْهَانِيِّ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ قَالَ
كُنْتُ قَائِلًا فِي كَنِيسَةٍ بِأَرِيحَا وَهِيَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مَسْجِدٌ يُصَلَّى فِيهِ قَالَ فَانْتَبَهَ عَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ مِنْ نَوْمَتِهِ وَإِذَا مَعَهُ فِي الْبَيْتِ أَسَدٌ يَمْشِي إِلَيْهِ فَقَامَ فَزِعًا إِلَى سِلَاحِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْأَسَدُ مَهْ إِنَّمَا أُرْسِلْتُ إِلَيْكَ بِرِسَالَةٍ لِتُبِلِّغَهَا قُلْتُ مَنْ أَرْسَلَكَ؟ قَالَ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ اللهُ لِأَنْ تُعْلِمَ مُعَاوِيَةَ الرَّحَّالَ أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ قُلْتُ مَنْ مُعَاوِيَةُ؟ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ

✧ I was taking a midday nap in a church in Jericho, which at that time was a mosque where people prayed. Then ʿAwf b. Mālik awoke from his sleep, and there was a lion with him in the room walking toward him. He rose in alarm to his weapon, and the lion said to him, “Wait! I have only been sent to you with a message for you to convey.” I said, “Who sent you?” He said, “God sent me to you so that you may inform Muʿāwiya the traveler that he is among the people of Paradise.” I said, “Who is Muʿāwiya?” He said, “The son of Abū Sufyān.”
