[Machine] When Muawiyah pledged allegiance to Yazid to go on pilgrimage, he passed by the city and addressed the people, saying, "We have pledged allegiance to Yazid, so pledge allegiance as well." Then Hussain bin Ali stood up and said, "By Allah, I am more deserving of it than him, for my father is better than his father, my grandfather is better than his grandfather, and my mother is better than his mother. And I am better than him." Muawiyah responded, "As for what you mentioned about your grandfather being better than his grandfather, you have spoken the truth, as the Prophet ﷺ is better than Abu Sufyan bin Harb. And as for what you mentioned about your mother being better than his mother, you have spoken the truth, as Fatimah bint Rasulullah ﷺ is better than the daughter of Mijdal. And as for what you mentioned about your father being better than his father, your father has offended his father, and Allah has decreed for your father over his father. And as for what you mentioned about yourself being better than him, he is four times older and wiser than you. The best thing that pleases me with him is equal to a thousand of you."  

لَمَّا بَايَعَ مُعَاوِيَةُ لِيَزِيدَ حَجَّ فَمَرَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ إِنَّا قَدْ بَايَعْنَا يَزِيدَ فَبَايِعُوا فَقَامَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ؓ فَقَالَ أَنَا وَاللهِ أَحَقُّ بِهَا مِنْهُ فَإِنَّ أَبِي خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَبِيهِ وَجَدِّي خَيْرٌ مِنْ جَدِّهِ وَإِنَّ أُمِّي خَيْرٌ مِنْ أُمِّهِ وَأَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ «أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ أَنَّ جَدَّكَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ جَدِّهِ فَصَدَقْتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ بْنِ حَرْبٍ وَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ أَنَّ أُمَّكَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أُمِّهِ فَصَدَقْتَ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرٌ مِنْ بِنْتِ مِجْدَلٍ وَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ أَنَّ أَبَاكَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَبِيهِ فَقَدْ قَارَعَ أَبُوهُ أَبَاكَ فَقَضَى اللهُ لِأَبِيهِ عَلَى أَبِيكَ وَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ أَنَّكَ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ فَلَهُوَ أَرِبُ مِنْكُ وَأَعْقَلُ مَا يَسُرُّنِي بِهِ مِثْلُكَ أَلْفٌ»
