It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: I am only a treasurer; the real giver is Allah. Therefore, if I give something to a person with a happy heart, it will be made blessed for him. But if I give something to someone to protect myself from his evil, or because of his insistence in asking, then it is like the one who keeps eating but is never satisfied.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that when he (peace be upon him) heard the call of the muezzin, he would repeat the same phrases that he was saying.

Abdullah bin Ali says that once I heard Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) in Makkah Mukarramah, under the shade of the Ka'bah, saying from the pulpit that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade men from wearing gold and silk.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that when he (peace be upon him) heard the call of the muezzin, he would repeat the same phrases that he was saying.

Jarir says that I heard Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) saying during a sermon that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, he was sixty-three years old. When Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, he was also sixty-three years old. When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, he was also sixty-three years old. And now I too have reached the age of sixty-three.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever drinks alcohol, flog him. If he drinks again, flog him again. If he drinks a third time, flog him again. If he drinks a fourth time, then kill him."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "Any woman who adds someone else's hair to her own hair (in order to make it appear longer), she is inserting it falsely."

And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "In this matter (of leadership), people follow the Quraysh. In the time of ignorance, those among them who were the best are also the best in the time of Islam, provided they attain understanding (of religion). By Allah! If the Quraysh were not prone to pride, I would have informed them of the status of their best people in the sight of Allah."

And I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: O Allah, none can withhold what You give, and none can give what You withhold, and the honor of the honorable avails nothing against You. Allah, when He intends good for someone, grants him understanding of the religion. And the best women who ride camels are the righteous women of Quraysh, who are the best protectors of their husbands in themselves and the most merciful to their children in childhood.

Abdullah bin Ali says that once I heard Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) in Makkah Mukarramah, while he was on the pulpit, saying that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade men from wearing gold and silk.
