[Machine] Al-Hasan ibn Ali received Muawiya with battalions like mountains. Amr ibn al-As said, "By God, I see battalions that will not retreat unless their peers are killed." Muawiya, being the better man of the two, replied, "What if these kill those? Who will be responsible for their blood? Who will handle their affairs? Who will take care of their women?" So Muawiya sent Abd al-Rahman ibn Samura ibn Habeeb ibn Abd Shams. Sufyan said he was a companion. Al-Hasan agreed to peace with Muawiya, surrendered leadership to him, and pledged allegiance to him on conditions and covenants. Muawiya sent a great sum of money to Al-Hasan, reportedly five hundred thousand dirhams, in Jumada al-Awwal of the year forty-one. Al-Hasan had led before surrendering leadership to Muawiya for seven months and eleven days. Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in "Al-Talkhis."
