قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى أَبِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَأَقَرَّ بِهِ حَدَّثَنِي مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي ضَمْرَةُ عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ السَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنْ قَنْبَرٍ حَاجِبِ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ كَانَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ يُغَلِّظُ لِمُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ فَشَكَاهُ إِلَى عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ وَإِلَى أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ وَإِلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ وَإِلَى أُمِّ حَرَامٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ صَحِبْتُمْ كَمَا صَحِبَ وَرَأَيْتُمْ كَمَا رَأَى فَإِنْ رَأَيْتُمْ أَنْ تُكَلِّمُوهُ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ فَجَاءَ فَكَلَّمُوهُ فَقَالَ أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا الْوَلِيدِ فَقَدْ أَسْلَمْتَ قَبْلِي وَلَكَ السِّنُّ وَالْفَضْلُ عَلَيَّ وَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَرْغَبُ بِكَ عَنْ مِثْلِ هَذَا الْمَجْلِسِ وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا أبا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَإِنْ كَادَتْ وَفَاةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تَفُوتَكَ ثُمَّ أَسْلَمْتَ فَكُنْتَ مِنْ صَالِحِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا عَمْرُو بْنَ الْعَاصِ فَقَدْ جَاهَدْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَمَّا أَنْتِ يَا أُمَّ حَرَامٍ فَإِنَّمَا أَنْتِ امْرَأَةٌ وَعَقْلُكِ عَقْلُ امْرَأَةٍ وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ وَذَاكَ قَالَ فَقَالَ عُبَادَةُ لَا جَرَمَ لَا جَلَسْتُ مِثْلَ هَذَا الْمَجْلِسِ أَبَدًا.
English Translation
He said: I read this hadith to my father and he confirmed it. Mahdi ibn Ja'far ar-Ramli narrated to me: Damrah narrated to me, from Abu Zur'ah as-Saybani, from Qanbar, the chamberlain of Mu'awiyah, who said: Abu Dharr used to speak harshly to Mu'awiyah. He complained about him to Ubadah ibn as-Samit, Abu ad-Darda', Amr ibn al-As, and Umm Haram, saying: "You have been companions as he was a companion, and you have seen as he saw; so if you see fit, speak to him." Then he sent for Abu Dharr, who came, and they spoke to him. He said: "As for you, Abu al-Walid" -- [addressing Ubadah] -- "you embraced Islam before me, and you have seniority and merit over me, and I would have preferred you above attending a gathering like this. As for you, Abu ad-Darda', the death of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, nearly passed you by [before you embraced Islam], then you embraced Islam and became one of the righteous Muslims. As for you, Amr ibn al-As, you fought alongside the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. As for you, Umm Haram, you are but a woman, and your intellect is that of a woman. And as for you [Mu'awiyah], that is that." Ubadah said: "Without doubt, I shall never again sit in a gathering like this."
