حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَقْطَعَهُ أَرْضًا، قَالَ: فَأَرْسَلَ مَعِي مُعَاوِيَةَ أَنْ أَعْطِهَا إِيَّاهُ ـ أَوْ قَالَ: أَعْلِمْهَا إِيَّاهُ ـ " قَالَ: فَقَالَ لِي مُعَاوِيَةُ: أَرْدِفْنِي خَلْفَكَ، (٤) فَقُلْتُ: لَا تَكُونُ مِنْ أَرْدَافِ الْمُلُوكِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: أَعْطِنِي نَعْلَكَ، فَقُلْتُ: انْتَعِلْ ظِلَّ النَّاقَةِ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا اسْتُخْلِفَ مُعَاوِيَةُ أَتَيْتُهُ، فَأَقْعَدَنِي مَعَهُ عَلَى السَّرِيرِ، فَذَكَّرَنِي الْحَدِيثَ فَقَالَ سِمَاكٌ فَقَالَ: " وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ حَمَلْتُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ " (٥)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Wa'il (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) granted him a piece of land and sent Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) with him so that he could identify the portion. On the way, Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me, "Let me ride behind you." I said, "You cannot sit behind kings." He said, "Then at least give me your shoes." I said, "Consider the shadow of the she-camel as your shoe." Then, when Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) was appointed as the Caliph and I went to him, he seated me with him on the throne and reminded me of the aforementioned incident. He says that at that time I thought, "If only I had let him ride in front of me."
