حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ؓ بِالنَّخِيلَةِ حِينَ صَالَحَهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ ؓ فَقَالَ
لَهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِذَا كَانَ ذَا فَقُمْ فَتَكَلَّمْ وَأَخْبِرِ النَّاسَ أَنَّكَ قَدْ سَلَّمْتَ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ لِي وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ أَخْبِرِ النَّاسَ بِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ الَّذِي تَرَكْتَهُ لِي فَقَامَ فَخَطَبَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ قَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ أَكْيَسَ الْكَيْسِ التُّقَى وَإِنَّ أَحْمَقَ الْحُمْقِ الْفُجُورُ وَإِنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ الَّذِي اخْتَلَفْتُ فِيهِ أَنَا وَمُعَاوِيَةُ إِمَّا كَانَ حَقًّا لِي تَرَكْتُهُ لِمُعَاوِيَةَ إِرَادَةَ صَلَاحِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ وَحَقْنِ دِمَائِهِمْ أَوْ يَكُونُ حَقًّا كَانَ لِامْرِئٍ أَحَقَّ بِهِ مِنِّي فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ {وَإِنْ أَدْرِي لَعَلَّهُ فِتْنَةٌ لَكُمْ وَمَتَاعٌ إِلَى حِينٍ}

- Shahidt al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī Bi-al-Nnakhīlah Ḥīn Ṣālaḥah Muʿāwiyah
✧ Muʿawiyah said to him: When it is so, stand and speak, and inform the people that you have surrendered this matter to me. Perhaps Sufyan said: Inform the people of this matter which you have left to me. So he stood and delivered a speech from the pulpit. He praised Allah and extolled Him—al-Shaʿbi said: while I was listening—then he said: To proceed: the most prudent prudence is piety, and the most foolish folly is wickedness. This matter over which I and Muʿawiyah differed: either it was a right of mine which I relinquished to Muʿawiyah, desiring the well-being of this community and the sparing of their blood, or it was a right belonging to a man more entitled to it than me, and so I did that. And I do not know; perhaps it is a trial for you and an enjoyment for a time.
