6 - قال: أخبرني أبو عبيد الله محمد بن عمران المرزباني قال: أخبرني أبو عبد الله محمد بن أحمد الحكيمي قال: حدثنا إسماعيل بن إسحاق القاضي  قال: حدثنا سعيد بن يحيى، عن محمد بن سعيد قال: حدثنا عبد الملك بن عمير اللخمي  قال: قدم جارية بن قدامة السعدي على معاوية ومع معاوية على السرير الأحنف بن قيس والحباب المجاشعي، فقال له معاوية: من أنت؟ فقال: أنا جارية بن قدامة، قال: وكان نبيلا فقال له معاوية: ما عسيت أن تكون ، هل أنت إلا نحلة؟ فقال: لا تفعل يا معاوية، قد شبهتني بالنحلة وهي والله حامية اللسعة، حلوة البصاق ، ووالله ما معاوية إلا كلبة تعاوي الكلاب، وما أمية إلا تصغير أمة. فقال معاوية: لا تفعل، قال: إنك فعلت ففعلت. قال له: فادن اجلس معي على السرير، فقال: لا أفعل، قال: ولم؟ قال: لأني رأيت هذين قد أماطاك عن مجلسك فلم أكن لأشاركهما. قال: له معاوية: أدن أسارك، فدنا منه، فقال له: يا جارية إني اشتريت من هذين [الرجلين] دينهما. قال: ومني فاشتر يا معاوية، قال له: لا تجهر. 

6. He said: Abu Ubaidullah Muhammad ibn Imran al-Marzbani reported to me from Abu Abdillah Muhammad ibn Ahmed al-Hakimi, who reported from Ismail ibn Ishaq al-Qadhi, who reported from Saeed ibn Yahya, from Muhammad ibn Saeed, who reported from Abdul Malik ibn Umair al-Lakhmi, that: Once Jariya ibn Qudamah al-Sa’di called upon Mu’awiyah; and upon the throne, there were al-Ahnaf ibn Qais and al-Habbab al-Majashee sitting next to him. Mu’awiyah said: "Who are you?" He replied: "I am Jariya ibn Qudamah. (And he was among the nobles). Mu’awiyah said: "May be so, but are you anything but a (stinging) bee?" He said: "O Mu’awiyah, do not do that! You have compared me to a bee. By Allah, it has a strong sting, but a sweet spit. While, by Allah, Mu’awiyah is nothing but a female dog howling at other dogs! And Umayyah is nothing but a diminutive of Amah - a house maid." Mu’awiyah said: "Do not do that!" He said: "You did it and so I did also." Mu’awiyah said: "Come closer to me and sit with me on the throne." He said: "I will not do that." Moawiyah said: "Why?" He replied: "For I see that these two have occupied your seat and removed you from your place. I would not like to join them." Mu’awiyah said: "Come closer so that I may share with you a secret." So he drew closer, and Mu’awiyah told him, "O Jariya, I have bought from these two their faith." He said: "Then buy from me, O Mu’awiyah." Moawiyah said: "Do not speak loudly."
