Hadith 35

Bedouin said, ‘A slave you have bought from other than permissible (money), and you are using him in other than right’. He said, ‘Woe be unto you, O Bedouin! So, what is the means, and how can we take the letter? ’
The Bedouin said, ‘You should stand from your place and take it with your own hands upon without any abhorrence from you, for it is a letter of an honourable man, and a learned chief, and a spiritualist lenient with the Momineen, kind merciful’. When Muawiya heard it from him, he leapt from his place and took the letter from him with anger, and opened it and read it, and placed it under his knee, then said, ‘How have you left father-asws of Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws? ’ He said, ‘I left him-asws, with the praise of Allah-azwj, like the ascendant moon with his-asws companions around him like the stars, shining, luminous. Whenever he-asws instructs them with a matter, they rush to it, and whenever he-asws forbids them from anything, they are not audacious upon him-asws, and it is from his-asws prowess, O Muawiya, in the boldness he-asws is a champion, brave, chief caller. If he-asws meets an army, he-asws defeats it and returns it, and if he meets a pair, plunders it, and annihilates it, and if he-asws meets an enemy, kills him, and segments him’. Muawiya said, ‘How have you left Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws as? ’ He said, ‘I left them-asws, by the Praise of Allah-azwj, as two youths, clean, pure, immaculate, chaste, healthy, chiefs, good, meritorious, rational, learned, reconciling in the world and the Hereafter’. Muawiya was silent for a while. He said, ‘What is your eloquence, O Bedouin? ’
He said, ‘If you could reach the door of Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, you would find the educators, the eloquent, the deliverers, the jurists, the captains, the pious, the elites, and you would see men Their marks are in their faces from the effects of the Sajdahs [48: 29], until when the fire of war was ignited, they threw themselves into that flame, wearing their hearts on top of their armour. They are standing in their nights (for Salat), Fasting their days, neither taking any blame from any accuser regarding Allah-azwj nor a guardian-asws of Allah-azwj. O Muawiya! When you see them to be upon this state, would drown in a deep ocean, not been saves from its waves’. Amro Bin Al-Aas said to Muawiya, ‘Please this Bedouin man. If you were to please him with the wealth, he would speak regarding you with good’. Muawiya said, ‘O Bedouin! What are you saying regarding the award? Will you take it from me or not? ’ He said, ‘But, I shall take it. By Allah-azwj! I want to capture your soul from your body, so how would I not capture your wealth from your treasury? ’
He ordered for ten thousand Dirhams for him. Then he said, ‘Would you like me to increase for you? ’ He said, ‘Increase, for you are not giving it from the wealth of your father, and Allah-azwj the Exalted is
