Narrated by Sayyiduna Wa’il bin Hujr (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) allotted him a piece of land and sent Sayyiduna Mu’awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) with him so that he could give me this land or point it out to me. Sayyiduna Wa’il (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Sayyiduna Mu’awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Let me ride behind you, but I said: O Mu’awiyah! You are not among those who ride behind kings (or become their deputies). He said: Then give me your shoe (so that I may protect myself from the harshness of the ground), I said: Walk in the shade of the she-camel. Then, when Sayyiduna Mu’awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) was chosen as caliph and I went to him, he seated me with him on the throne and reminded me of this incident. I said: Now I wish that I had seated you in front of me.
