[Machine] Grant my request, O Commander of the Faithful. By Allah, my need is great. I have become a father of ten, a brother of ten, and an uncle of ten. When Marwan and Ibn Abbas left, Muawiyah sat with me on his bed and said, "I swear to Allah, O Ibn Abbas, do you not know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'When the Banu Hakam reach thirty men, they will corrupt the signs of Allah among themselves, betray their obligations as worshippers, and distort His Book. When they reach ninety-nine and four hundred, their destruction will come faster than the ripening of a fruit'?" Ibn Abbas said, "O Allah, yes." Then Marwan mentioned his need, and Marwan bin Abdul Malik responded to Muawiyah. After Marwan left, Muawiyah said, "I swear to Allah, O Ibn Abbas, do you not know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned this?" Abu al-Jababirah said, "The four mentioned individuals." Ibn Abbas said, "O Allah, yes." That is why Muawiyah claimed Ziyad.  

اقْضِ حَاجَتِي يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَوَاللهِ إِنَّ مُؤْنَتِي لَعَظِيمَةٌ إِنِّي أَصْبَحْتُ أَبَا عَشَرَةٍ وَأَخَا عَشَرَةٍ وَعَمَّ عَشَرَةٍ فَلَمَّا أَدْبَرَ مَرْوَانُ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ جَالِسٌ مَعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ أَنْشُدُكَ اللهَ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَمَا تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا بَلَغَ بَنُو الْحَكَمِ ثَلَاثِينَ رَجُلًا اتَّخَذُوا آيَاتِ اللهِ بَيْنَهُمْ دُوَلًا وَعِبَادَهُ خَوَلًا وَكِتَابَهُ دَغَلًا فَإِذَا بَلَغُوا تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ وَأَرْبَعَمِائَةٍ كَانَ هَلَاكُهُمْ أَسْرَعَ مِنَ الثَّمَرَةِ» ؟ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ اللهُمَّ نَعَمْ فَذَكَرَ مَرْوَانُ حَاجَةً لَهُ فَرَدَّ مَرْوَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ فَكَلَّمَهُ فِيهَا فَلَمَّا أَدْبَرَ قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ أَنْشُدُكَ اللهَ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَمَا تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ذَكَرَ هَذَا فَقَالَ أَبُو الْجَبَابِرَةِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ اللهُمَّ نَعَمْ فَلِذَلِكَ ادَّعَى مُعَاوِيَةُ زِيَادًا
