1. We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Yahya al-‘Attar, and Ahmad bin Idrees, all of them, from Muhammed bin Ahmad bin Yahya bin Imran al-Ash’ari, from al-Saiyari, from Hakam bin Salem, from the one who told him, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said
«Indeed, we and the family of Abu Sufyan are two households who became enemies for the sake of Allah. We said: «Allah spoke true», whereas they said: «Allah lied». Abu Sufyan fought the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family. Mu’awiya fought Ali bin Abi Talib, peace be upon him. Yazid bin Mu’awiya fought Hussain bin Ali, peace be upon them both, and al-Sufyani will fight the Riser, peace be upon him.
