[Machine] Muawiyah did not give birth to a Qurayshi woman from the Quraysh tribe who was better in her religion than Muhammad ﷺ, and she did not give birth to a Qurayshi woman from the Quraysh tribe who was better in her worldly life than me. Then Ma'n ibn Yazid As-Sulami said, "Muawiyah did not give birth to a Qurayshi woman from the Quraysh tribe who was better in her religion than Muhammad ﷺ, and she did not give birth to a Qurayshi woman from the Quraysh tribe who was worse in her worldly life than you." He asked, "Why?" He replied, "Because you have accustomed them to something as if I am the one they have asked for it from, so you bring them swiftly in the streets." He said, "Woe to you! By Allah, I have kept it secret from myself since such and such a time."
