حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ الْجُمَحِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ بَكَّارَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ وَاسِعٍ قَالَ قَالَ
مُعَاوِيَةُ مَا وَلَدَتْ قُرَشِيَّةٌ لِقُرَشِيٍّ خَيْرًا لَهَا فِي دِينِهَا مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَمَا وَلَدَتْ قُرَشِيَّةٌ لِقُرَشِيٍّ خَيْرًا لَهَا فِي دُنْيَاهَا مِنِّي فَقَالَ مَعْنُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ السُّلَمِيُّ مَا وَلَدَتْ قُرَشِيَّةٌ لِقُرَشِيٍّ خَيْرًا لَهَا فِي دِينِهَا مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَمَا وَلَدَتْ قُرَشِيَّةٌ لِقُرَشِيٍّ شَرًّا لَهَا فِي دُنْيَاهَا مِنْكَ قَالَ وَلِمَ؟ قَالَ لِأَنَّكَ عَوَّدْتَهُمْ عَادَةً كَأَنِّي بِهِمْ قَدْ طَلَبُوهَا مِنْ غَيْرِكَ فَتَأْتِي بِهِمْ صَرْعَى فِي الطُّرُقِ فَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأُكَاتِمُهَا نَفْسِي مُنْذُ كَذَا وَكَذَا

✧ Mu'awiyah said: “No Qurayshi woman gave birth to a Qurayshi man better for her in her religion than Muhammad ﷺ, and no Qurayshi woman gave birth to a Qurayshi man better for her in her worldly life than me.” Ma'n b. Yazid al-Sulami said: “No Qurayshi woman gave birth to a Qurayshi man better for her in her religion than Muhammad ﷺ, and no Qurayshi woman gave birth to a Qurayshi man worse for her in her worldly life than you.” He said: “And why?” He said: “Because you have accustomed them to a practice, and it is as if I see them seeking it from someone other than you, and you will bring them cast down in the roads.” He said: “Woe to you! By Allah, I have been concealing it from myself since such and such a time.”
