دعائے امیرِ اَہلِ سُنّت

tolerance and did not say anything back. A time came when Sayyidunā Amir MuꜤāwiyah رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ became the governor of Syria and called Sayyidunā Wāˈil b. Ḥujr رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ to Damascus. When he went to Damascus, Sayyidunā Amir MuꜤāwiyah رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ was extremely respectful towards him and instead of taking revenge against him for this event of the past, he made Sayyidunā Wāˈil b. Ḥujr رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ sit next to him on the throne and asked: ‘Is my throne better or the hump of your she-camel?’

Sayyidunā Wāˈil Bin Hujr رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ replied: ‘O leader of the believers! I was a new Muslim at that time and what I said was the common practice of the era of ignorance. Now, Allah Almighty has honoured us with Islam and whatever you have done is the way of Islam.’

Sayyidunā Wāˈil b. Ḥujr رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ was so moved by the kind behaviour of Sayyidunā Amir MuꜤāwiyah رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ that he said: ‘If only I had allowed him to mount ahead of me.’^{^[1]}

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! We learn from this account that the companions of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم were of a tolerant and soft nature:

* They would treat others with affection

* They were full of humility and humbleness

* They had a habit of being patient and tolerant

* They were soft-hearted and kind

* They were pure from malice and holding grudges

* They would treat others with kindness despite being treated rudely
