It is narrated from Saeed bin Musayyib (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) went to the service of Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her). Sayyidah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to him: Are you not afraid that I might have someone lying in wait to kill you and he would kill you? Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You will not do such a thing (or you cannot do such a thing) because I am within the bounds of protection and safety. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that faith prevents from killing by deceit. Well, now tell me, how am I doing in fulfilling your needs and requirements? Sayyidah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: You are fine. Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then leave us and the people to our own state, until we meet our Lord. (Meaning, do not interfere in my and the people's affairs.)
