[Machine] "O Muawiyah, indeed Muhammad has taken my neighbors, so go to him; for he has recognized you and spoken to you." Muawiyah said, "So I went with him, and he said, 'Leave my neighbors for me; for they have embraced Islam.' So he turned away from them and stood defiantly, and said, 'By Allah, if you do so? It is perceived by people that you command the matter and obey others, and I will reward him while he is speaking.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'What does he say?' They said, 'By Allah, if you do that, it is perceived by people that you command the matter and obey others.' He said, 'So he said it or someone else said it?' They said, 'By Allah, if you do that and that is nothing but on me and there is nothing on them from that.' They sent his neighbors to him."  

يَا مُعَاوِيَةُ إِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا أَخَذَ جِيرَانِي فَانْطَلِقْ إِلَيْهِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ عَرَفَكَ وَكَلَّمَكَ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ دَعْ لِي جِيرَانِي؛ فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ كَانُوا أَسْلَمُوا فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَقَامَ مُتَمَعِّطًا فَقَالَ أَمْ وَاللهِ لَئِنْ فَعَلْتَ؟ إِنَّ النَّاسَ لَيَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّكَ تَأْمُرُ بِالْأَمْرِ وَتُخَالِفُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ وَجَعَلْتُ أَجُرُّهُ وَهُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا يَقُولُ؟ فَقَالُوا إِنَّكَ وَاللهِ لَئِنْ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ لَيَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّكَ لَتَأْمُرُ بِالْأَمْرِ وَتُخَالِفُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَوَ قَدْ قَالُوهَا أَوْ قَائِلُهُمْ فَلَئِنْ فَعَلْتُ ذَاكَ وَمَا ذَاكَ إِلَّا عَلَيَّ وَمَا عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ أَرْسِلُوا لَهُ جِيرَانَهُ  

[Machine] "He said to his brother Malik ibn Haidah, 'Come with us to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , for he knows you but does not know me. He has imprisoned some people from my neighbors, so we went to him. Malik ibn Haidah said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have embraced Islam and my neighbors have embraced Islam. Leave them alone.' But he did not respond. Then he repeated his request, but he did not respond again. So he got angry and said, 'If you do that, they claim that you call to one thing and do something else.' So I scolded and reprimanded him. He asked, 'What did he say?' They said, 'He said such and such.' He then said, 'If I do that, then it is upon me and not upon them. Leave his neighbors alone.' Al-Dhahabi did not comment on this in his summary."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِأَخِيهِ مَالِكِ بْنِ حَيْدَةَ انْطَلِقْ بِنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِنَّهُ يَعْرِفُكَ وَلَا يَعْرِفُنِي فَقَدْ حَبَسَ نَاسًا مِنْ جِيرَانِي فَأَتَيْنَاهُ وَقَالَ مَالِكُ بْنُ حَيْدَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ وَأَسْلَمَ جِيرَانِي فَخَلِّ عَنْهُمْ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ فَقَامَ مُتَسَخِّطًا فَقَالَ «لَئِنْ فَعَلْتُ ذَاكَ إِنَّهُمْ يَزْعُمُونَ إِنَّكَ تَدْعُو إِلَى الْأَمْرِ وَتُخَالِفُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ» فَجَعَلْتُ أَزْجُرُهُ وَأَنْهَاهُ فَقَالَ مَا يَقُولُ؟ قَالُوا إِنَّهُ يَقُولُ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ «إِنْ فَعَلْتُ ذَاكَ فَإِنَّ ذَاكَ عَلَيَّ مَا عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ دَعْ لَهُ جِيرَانِهِ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
