32-34 Al-Hakim Abu Ali Al-Husayn ibn Ahmad al-Bayhaqi narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Sowli quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ishaq al-Taliqani, on the authority of his father, “A man in Khorasan claimed that Mo’awiya was not one of the companions of God’s Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. He swore that his wife would be illegal for him, if his claim turned out to be false. This happened during the time Ar-Ridha’ عليه السلام was there. The jurists around there had issued a decree that that man’s wife was illegal for him. The people asked Ar-Ridha’ عليه السلام if that man’s wife was illegal for him or not. The Imam عليه السلام replied, “No, she is not illegal.” All the jurists wrote him a letter in which it was written, “O son of God’sProphet! How and why do you consider her not to be illegal for him.” The Imam عليه السلام wrote the following in a corner of their letter, “This is based on the tradition which you yourselves have narrated on the authority of Sa’eed al-Khodri in which it is narrated that after the conquest of Mecca, God’s Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم expressed that ‘You are of the good ones, and my companions are of the good ones’ to those who expressed submission to God and became Muslim when many of them had gathered around the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. However, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said, ‘There will be no migration after victory.’ Thus the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم abolished migration after the victory of Mecca, and considered them (including Mo’awiya) not to be his companions.” When the jurists read the answer they changed their decree to that of Imam Ar-Ridha’ عليه السلام.
