112 – My father narrated to me, from Abū al-Mundhir al-Kūfī, that when death came to Muʿāwiyah he kept saying:
“If You call me to a detailed reckoning, O Lord, then that very reckoning will be a punishment I have no strength to bear. But if You overlook and pardon, You are a Merciful Lord toward a sinner whose sins are as countless as dust.”
١١٢ - حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُنْذِرِ الْكُوفِيِّ: أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ جَعَلَ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَوْتِ: «إِنْ تُنَاقِشْ يَكُنْ نِقَاشُكَ يَا رَبِّ، عَذَابًا لَا طَوْقَ لِي بِالْعَذَابِ، أَوْ تُجَاوِزْ فَأَنْتَ رَبٌّ رَحِيمٌ عَنْ مُسِيءٍ ذُنُوبُهُ كَالتُّرَابِ»
