Mu’aawiyah Ibn Abee Sufyaan – A Companion Of Allaah’s Messenger

Ourdearest brothers, this topic concerns Mu’aawiyah Ibn Abee Sufyaan4 • from the sayings of the just and reliable scholars.

I do not want to speak about his tribal origin or his life and sayings that he narrated nor about that which is concerning him (personally). Rather, it will be regarding a particular area. It is the speech of those who possess justice regarding him, those whom Allaah has made fortunate to tread the just path.

Such that they speak concerning him with that which befits him and reflects his status. They did not fall into that which many people who were unfortunate fell into. Those who did not achieve that in which their safety, salvation and happiness would lie.

Mu’aawiyah Ibn Abee Sufyaan 1s one of the Companions who Allaah blessed to accompany Prophet Muhammad – So everything that can be said regarding the overall virtue of the Companions and what is obligatory towards them in general also includes Mu’aawiyah.

These trustworthy scholars have sayings pertaining to him in particular, showing how he should be described and be spoken about, may Allaah be pleased with him.

What I present here is no more than to merely transmit from books whose authors have put a lot of appreciated effort in serving the Prophetic Sunnah and in clarifying what is obligatory towards the Companions, may Allaah be pleased with them.

I will mention general statements concerning all of the Companions, Mu’aawiyah Ibn Abee Sufyaan being one of them. Then I will mention statements pertaining specifically to him.

TheReason For Choosing To Speak About Mu’aawiyah

Yet a person might say, “Why have you chosen Mu’aawiyah Ibn Abee Sufyaan 41,i, and specified him with this topic in particular instead of others?” The answer to this is contained in a famous saying that one of the pious predecessors Abu Tawbah Al-Halabee said and that is:

“Indeed Mu’aawiyah Ibn Abee Sufyaan is a curtain for the Companions of Allaah’s Messenger !Ii, so whoever lifts this curtain, will have the audacity to speak about those behind it.”

Whoever has the audacity to speak unbefitting statements about Mu’aawiyah will find it easy to speak about others. The situation will not stop at him but it will be easy for that person to go to the extent of speaking about those who are better and superior to Mu’aawiyah.

They will speak about the best of the people after the Prophets and Messengers, Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq, then ‘Umar Ibnul-Khattab, then ‘Uthmaan Ibn ‘Affaan6 and then ‘Alee Ibn Abee Taalib.

Likewise other Companions have had words said about them negatively and they are not deserving or befitting of those statements.

In reality, if words were said about them in their favour then they deserve it and are befitting of it and the speaker of these words should be praised and complimented.

It is for this reason that these predecessors who talked positively about the righteous Companions are always mentioned in goodness on the tongues.

Their beautiful statements are cited, mercy is sought for them and they are often praised due to the obligation they fulfilled towards the Companions of Allaah’s Messenger –

As for the ones who speak about the Companions with unbefitting sayings, he in reality has not harmed them but only harmed himself, because the Companions have already put forward much good.

They put forward great actions that they did while being with the Messenger of Allaah – So not only does this person harm himself but he also increases the Companions in good deeds and raises their status.

For if he speaks about them unjustly, his good deeds will be added to theirs, if he has any good deeds and thereby their ranks are raised. However, if he does not have any good deeds then as is said:

The clouds are not harmed by the barking of dogs.
