قال عبد الرحمن بن العباس - ورفعه - قال:
سأل معاوية الحسن بن علي عليهما السلام عن المروءة فقال: شح الرجل على دينه، وإصلاحه ماله، وقيامه بالحقوق. فقال معاوية: أحسنت يا أبا محمد أحسنت يا أبا محمد. قال: فكان معاوية يقول بعد ذلك: وددت أن يزيد قالها وإنه كان أعور.
2. Abdul-Rahman bin Abbas said, and he ascribed it, saying: Mua’wiya asked Hasan bin Ali, peace be upon them both, about manliness, so he said:
A man’s avariciousness towards his religion, his rectification of his property and establishment of rights. Mu’awiya then said: You did well, O father of Muhammed! You did well, O father of Muhammed! He said: Mu’awiya then used to say after that: I had wished that Yazid said it [1], and he was, indeed, half-blinded.
