[Machine] I witnessed Muawiya giving a donkey to Muqaddas ibn al-Aswad. Then a man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ, who was called Al-Arba'ad ibn Sariyah, stood up and said, "Why don't you take it? And what does Muawiya have to prevent him from giving it to you? It's as if I see you on the Day of Judgment carrying it on your neck, with its head hanging down."
شَهِدْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَأَعْطَى الْمِقْدَادَ بْنَ الْأَسْوَدِ حِمَارًا فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْعِرْبَاضُ بْنُ سَارِيَةَ فَقَالَ «مَالَكَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَهُ وَمَا لِمُعَاوِيَةَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَكَ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْكَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ تَحْمِلُهُ عَلَى عُنُقِكَ رَأْسُهُ أَسْفَلُهُ»
