[Machine] He, Muawiyah, when he came to Fiqh, spoke and informed the people that you have surrendered this matter to me. Perhaps Sufyan said, inform the people of this matter that you have left to me. So he stood and spoke from the pulpit and praised Allah and praised him. Al-Sha'bi said, and I am listening, then he said, "As for what follows, the wisest of the wise is piety, and the most foolish of the foolish is immorality. And regarding this matter in which Muawiyah and I disagreed, either it was my right and I left it to Muawiyah out of the intention for the good of this nation and to stop the shedding of their blood, or it was someone else's right and they deserved it more than me, so I did that. "And I do not know, perhaps it is a trial for you and a provision for a while."  

لَهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِذَا كَانَ ذَا فَقُمْ فَتَكَلَّمْ وَأَخْبِرِ النَّاسَ أَنَّكَ قَدْ سَلَّمْتَ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ لِي وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ أَخْبِرِ النَّاسَ بِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ الَّذِي تَرَكْتَهُ لِي فَقَامَ فَخَطَبَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ قَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ أَكْيَسَ الْكَيْسِ التُّقَى وَإِنَّ أَحْمَقَ الْحُمْقِ الْفُجُورُ وَإِنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ الَّذِي اخْتَلَفْتُ فِيهِ أَنَا وَمُعَاوِيَةُ إِمَّا كَانَ حَقًّا لِي تَرَكْتُهُ لِمُعَاوِيَةَ إِرَادَةَ صَلَاحِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ وَحَقْنِ دِمَائِهِمْ أَوْ يَكُونُ حَقًّا كَانَ لِامْرِئٍ أَحَقَّ بِهِ مِنِّي فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ {وَإِنْ أَدْرِي لَعَلَّهُ فِتْنَةٌ لَكُمْ وَمَتَاعٌ إِلَى حِينٍ}
