Hadith 36

Musa, that Muawiya is a freed one of (at the conquest of Makkah), and that his father was chief of the confederates (united conspirators) and he is claiming the caliphate from without any consultation nor allegiance. If he were to claim to you that Umar and Usman had employed him, so he has spoken the truth. Umar had employed him, and he was the ruled upon him, at the status of the physician protecting what he desires and rewarding what he dislikes. Then Usman employed him with the view of Umar, and how frequently has someone been employed from the ones who did not claim the caliphate. And know that for a lifetime, along with all thing pleasing you there would be something hidden displeasing you; and from these you may forget, so do not forget that Ali-asws, the people who pledged allegiance to him-asws were the ones who had pledged to Abu Bakr and Umar and Usman, and it is an allegiance of guidance, and that he-asws does did not fight except the disobedient, and the allegiance-breakers’. Abu Musa said, ‘May Allah-azwj have Mercy on you! By Allah-azwj!

But, by Allah-azwj! If I had sat upon the theatre of its participants, I would have broken what they accomplished, and accomplished what was broken; I would have flow when they regretted, and regretted when they had flown. But pre-Determination preceded and regret remains, and with today is (always) tomorrow, and Hereafter is better for Amir Al Momineen-asws’’. [147]
Nasr said in a Hadeeth of Amro Bin Shimr who said, ‘Abu Musa came to Amro and said, ‘O Amro! Is it for you regarding a matter which is for the betterment of the community and for the righteous people to be satisfied? Give this matter to Abdullah Bin Umar Bin Al-Khattab who did not enter into anything from this Fitna, nor in these sects’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And Abdullah Bin Amro Bin Al-Aas and Abdullah Bin Al-Zubeyr were both nearby listening to the talk. Amro said, ‘So, where are you, O Abu Musa, from Muawiya? ’ Abu Musa refused to him. Amro said, ‘Don’t you know that Usman was killed oppressed, and Muawiya is the guardian of Usman? And All
