[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me to a specific land and assigned Muawiyah to accompany me. He said, "Teach him and give him what he needs." Muawiyah said to me, "Let me ride behind you." I replied, "Do not be like the followers of kings." He then said, "Give me your shoes so that I may wear them." I told him to wear the shadow of the camel. When Muawiyah became the ruler, I approached him and he made me sit with him on the bed. Then, he reminded me of the incident and said, "You were carrying me in your arms."
أَقْطَعَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْضًا فَأَرْسَلَ مَعِي مُعَاوِيَةَ وَقَالَ «أَعْلِمْهَا إِيَّاهُ وَأَعْطِهٍ إِيَّاهُ» قَالَ لِي مُعَاوِيَةُ أَرْدِفْنِي خَلْفَكَ قُلْتُ لَا تَكُونُ مِنْ أَرْدَافِ الْمُلُوكِ قَالَ أَعْطِنِي نَعْلَكَ أنْتَعِلُ بِهَا قُلْتُ انْتَعِلْ بِظِلِّ النَّاقَةِ فَلَمَّا اسْتُخْلِفَ مُعَاوِيَةُ أَتَيْتُهُ فَأَقْعَدَنِي مَعَهُ عَلَى السَّرِيرِ ثُمَّ ذَكَّرَنِي الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ سِمَاكٌ قَالَ وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ حَمَلْتَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ
