[Machine] "We entered upon Muawiyah and the caller for prayer called out, 'Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.' Muawiyah said the same and then said, 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah.' He repeated this statement and then said, 'I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.' He also repeated this statement. Then he said, 'This is how I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saying.'"  

دَخَلْنَا عَلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ فَنَادَى الْمُنَادِي لِلصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ كَمَا قَالَ فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ أَيْضًا فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَكَذَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ»  

[Machine] "I witnessed Uthman delivering a sermon while standing on the pulpit, and I witnessed Muawiya delivering a sermon while sitting. He said, 'Indeed, I am not ignorant of the Sunnah, but my age has advanced, my bones have weakened, and my needs have multiplied. So, I wanted to fulfill some of your needs while I am sitting, and then I will stand and take my share of the Sunnah.'"  

شَهِدْتُ عُثْمَانَ يَخْطُبُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ قَائِمًا وَشَهِدْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ يَخْطُبُ قَاعِدًا فَقَالَ «أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أَجْهَلِ السُّنَّةَ وَلَكِنِّي كَبِرَتْ سِنِّي وَرَقَّ عَظْمِي وَكَثُرَتْ حَوَائِجُكُمْ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَقْضِيَ بَعْضَ حَوَائِجِكُمْ وَأَنَا قَاعِدٌ ثُمَّ أَقُومَ فَآخُذَ نَصِيبِي مِنَ السُّنَّةِ»
