Ayyub (may Allah have mercy on him) says: "I was informed that Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) was present with Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Who is more deserving of this matter than us, and who can dispute with us over it? I intended to say: Those people who fought against you and your father over Islam, but I refrained from speaking out of fear of bloodshed and remembered Paradise."
