Hims, and it weighed heavily on them.

ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī ʿAmīrah al-Muzanī then said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say to Muʿāwiyah: ‘O Allah, make him a guide, one who is himself guided, and guide others through him.’ (1)

Abū Bakr ibn Abī Dāwūd related: Maḥmūd ibn Khālid narrated to us; al-Walīd and ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-Wāḥid narrated from Saʿīd, from Rabīʿah ibn Yazīd, from Abū Idrīs, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī ʿAmīrah:
“I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say to Muʿāwiyah: ‘O Allah, make him a guide, one who is himself guided, and guide others through him.’ (2)

ʿAmr ibn Wāqid, from Yūnus ibn Ḥalbas, from Abū Idrīs, reported:
“When ʿUmar removed ʿUmayr ibn Saʿd from Hims and appointed Muʿāwiyah, people spoke about the matter. ʿUmayr said, ‘Mention Muʿāwiyah only with good, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, “O Allah, guide through him.” (3)’

It was also transmitted (4) by al-Dhuhlī, from al-Nufaylī, from him.

Hishām ibn ʿAmmār said: ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn al-Walīd ibn Sulaymān (5) narrated to us; I heard my father say, “When ʿUmar appointed Muʿāwiyah, people objected, saying, ‘He has appointed someone still young.’ He replied, ‘Do you reproach me while I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, “O Allah, make him a guide, one who is himself guided, and guide others through him.” (6)’ ”

This chain is broken.

(1) Ibn Asakir, vol. 16, p. 344 (A). Saʿid is Saʿid ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAziz. Amed, the principal city of Diyarbakr, is described by Yaqut as a strong, well-fortified town built of black stone on elevated ground, with the Tigris encircling most of it; it was conquered in 20 AH. (2) All the transmitters are reliable, but Saʿid (ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAziz) became confused in his later years, as noted above. (3) Related by al-Tirmidhi (no. 3843, in “Virtues”); however, ʿAmr ibn Waqid is a discarded narrator. (4) That is, al-Tirmidhi; al-Dhuhli is Muhammad ibn Yahya. (5) The printed edition mistakenly has “Salman.” (6) Reported by Ibn Asakir, vol. 16, p. 344 (B); the chain is broken, for al-Walid ibn Sulayman did not meet ʿUmar.
حِمْصَ، فَشَقَّ عَلَيْهِم. فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بنُ أَبِي عَمِيْرَةَ المُزَنِيُّ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُوْلَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُوْلُ لِمُعَاوِيَةَ: (اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ هَادِياً، مَهْدِيّاً، وَاهْدِ بِهِ (١)) . أَبُو بَكْرٍ بنُ أَبِي دَاوُدَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُوْدُ بنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الوَلِيْدُ، وَعُمَرُ بنُ عَبْدِ الوَاحِدِ، عَنْ سَعِيْدٍ، عَنْ رَبِيْعَةَ بنِ يَزِيْدَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيْسَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بنِ أَبِي عَمِيْرَةَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُوْلَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُوْلُ لِمُعَاوِيَةَ: (اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ هَادِياً، مَهْدِيّاً، وَاهْدِ بِهِ (٢)) . عَمْرُو بنُ وَاقِدٍ: عَنْ يُوْنُسَ بنِ حَلْبَسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيْسَ، قَالَ: لَمَّا عَزَلَ عُمَرُ عُمَيْرَ بنَ سَعْدٍ عَنْ حِمْصَ، وَلَّى مُعَاوِيَةَ، فَقَالَ النَّاسُ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ عُمَيْرٌ: لاَ تَذْكُرُوا مُعَاوِيَةَ إِلاَّ بِخَيْرٍ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُوْلَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُوْلُ: (اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِ بِهِ (٣)) . رَوَاهُ (٤) : عَنِ الذُّهْلِيِّ، عَنِ النُّفَيْلِيِّ، عَنْهُ. هِشَامُ بنُ عَمَّارٍ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ العَزِيْزِ بنُ الوَلِيْدِ بنِ سُلَيْمَانَ (٥) ، سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُوْلُ: إِنَّ عُمَرَ وَلَّى مُعَاوِيَةَ، فَقَالُوا: وَلاَّهُ حَدِيْثَ السِّنِّ. فَقَالَ: تَلُوْمُوْنَنِي، وَأَنَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُوْلَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُوْلُ: (اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ هَادِياً، مَهْدِيّاً، وَاهْدِ بِهِ (٦)) . هَذَا مُنْقَطِعٌ.
