حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي الْفَيْضِ، عَنْ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ: كَانَ بَيْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَبَيْنَ قَوْمٍ مِنَ الرُّومِ عَهْدٌ، فَخَرَجَ مُعَاوِيَةُ، قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ يَسِيرُ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ حَتَّى يَنْقُضُوا (١) فَيُغِيرَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يُنَادِي فِي نَاحِيَةِ النَّاسِ: وَفَاءٌ لَا غَدْرٌ، (٢) فَإِذَا هُوَ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبَسَةَ فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ، ، قَوْمٍ عَهْدٌ، فَلَا يَشِدَّ عُقْدَةً، وَلَا يَحُلُّهَا (١) حَتَّى يَمْضِيَ أَمَدُهَا، أَوْ يَنْبِذَ إِلَيْهِمْ عَلَى سَوَاءٍ " (٢)،
Translation
English translation
Saleem bin Aamir says that once Ameer Muawiya (may Allah be pleased with him) set out with an army towards the land of Rome. There was still some time left in the agreement between Muawiya (may Allah be pleased with him) and the Romans. Muawiya (may Allah be pleased with him) thought that they would stop after reaching near them, and as soon as the term ended, they would start fighting them. But he saw that an old man riding on a mount was saying, "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar! Fulfill the promise, do not break the covenant. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) has said: If a person has an agreement with any nation, he should not untie or tie its knot before the term ends or before they break the covenant." When Muawiya (may Allah be pleased with him) came to know of this, he returned, and it was found out that the old man was Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him).
