[Machine] The delegation of Al-Miqdam bin Ma'di Karib and 'Amr bin Al-Aswad, a man from the tribe of Qinnasrin and one of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , came to Muawiyah. Muawiyah said to Al-Miqdam, "Didn't you know that Al-Hasan bin Ali has passed away?" Al-Miqdam became upset and said, "Why shouldn't I be upset? The Prophet ﷺ had appointed him and Al-Hussein as his successors." Muawiyah then asked 'Amr, "What do you say?" 'Amr replied, "May Allah extinguish this flame." Al-Miqdam said, "As for me, I will not leave today until I anger you and tell you what you dislike."
