ذكر مناقب عقبة بن عامر أبى عمرو الجهني - رضى الله عنه -
The virtues of Uqbah bin Amir Abu Amr al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him), and the conversation between Mu'awiyah and Ibn Abbas about the caliphate
Hadith Number: 6082
اخبرني محمد بن احمد بن تميم الحنظلي ببغداد، حدثنا محمد بن العباس الكابلي (2)، حدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة حدثني زيد بن الحباب، عن عبد الله ابن لهيعة قال: حدثني ابو الاسود، عن عروة: ان معاوية استعمل على مصر بعد وفاة اخيه عنبسة بن ابي سفيان عقبة بن عامر الجهني، وذلك سنة اربع واربعين، فاقام الحج فيها معاوية. قال ابو بكر (1): فحدثني ابو بكر بن عياش، حدثنا معروف بن يزيد (2) المكي، قال: بينا عبد الله بن عباس جالس في المسجد الحرام ونحن بين يديه، إذ اقبل معاوية فجلس إليه، فاعرض عنه ابن عباس، فقال له معاوية: ما لي اراك معرضا؟ الست تعلم اني احق بهذا الامر من ابن عمك؟ قال: لم؟ قال: لانه كان مسلما، وكنت كافرا؟ قال: لا، ولكني ابن عم عثمان، قال: فابن عمه خير من ابن عمك، قال: إن عثمان قتل مظلوما، قال: وعندهما ابن عمر، فقال ابن عباس: فإن هذا والله احق بالامر منك، فقال معاوية: إن عمر قتله كافر وعثمان قتله مسلم، فقال ابن عباس: ذاك والله ادحض لحجتك (3).
It is narrated from Urwah that Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), after the death of his brother Anbasah bin Abi Sufyan, appointed Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) as governor of Egypt in the year 44 AH, and in that year Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) led the Hajj. Ma'ruf bin Yazid al-Makki says: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was sitting in the Sacred Mosque and we were in front of him, when Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) came and sat by him. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) turned away from him, so Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "What is the matter, that I see you turning away? Do you not know that I am more entitled to this matter (the caliphate) than your cousin (Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him)?" Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) asked: "Why? Is it because he (Ali) was a Muslim while you were a disbeliever?" Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "No, rather because I am the cousin of Uthman." He said: "Then his cousin is better than your cousin." Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Uthman was killed wrongfully." Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) was also present there, and Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "By Allah! This one (Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both) is more entitled to this matter than you." Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Umar was killed by a disbeliever, whereas Uthman was killed by a Muslim." Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "By Allah! That only weakens your argument further."

Hadith-science notes and terminology
Important point: In manuscripts (S, M, B) it has been distorted here into "al-Kamili" (with mim), whereas the correct word is "al-Kabili" (with ba'), as found in manuscript (Z) and in the biographies of the narrator.
(2) تحرَّفت في (ص) و (م) و (ب) إلى: الكاملي، بالميم، والصواب كما في (ز) بالباء، وكما في مصادر ترجمته.
Important point: Abu Bakr here refers to the well-known muhaddith "Ibn Abi Shaybah".
(1) يعني: ابن أبي شيبة.
Important point: In the manuscripts it is written "Ma'ruf bin Yazid", whereas there is no narrator by this name; the actual teacher of Abu Bakr bin 'Ayyash is "Ma'ruf bin Kharrabudh".
(2) في النسخ الخطية: معروف بن يزيد وليس في الرواة من اسمه كذلك، وشيخ أبي بكر بن عياش إنما هو معروف بن خرَّبوذ.
Grading: This chain is "hasan" on account of Abu Bakr bin 'Ayyash and his teacher Ma'ruf, provided that Ma'ruf's hearing from Ibn 'Abbas is established, since there is some hesitation about whether he met him.
(3) إسناده حسن من أجل أبي بكر بن عياش وشيخه معروف إن كان معروفٌ سمعه من ابن عباس، فإنَّ في إدراكه له وقفة.
