Abdullah bin Muhammad says that once Hazrat Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Madinah Munawwarah, where he met Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him). He said that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "After me, you will face favoritism." Hazrat Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Then what did the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) command you to do at that time?" He replied, "The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to be patient." Hazrat Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Then you all should be patient."
