حَدَّثَنِي عَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمَعْقِرِيُّ ، قَالاَ : حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْيَمَامِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُمَيْلٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ: كَانَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ لاَ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَلاَ يُقَاعِدُونَهُ ، فَقَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ ثَلاَثٌ أَعْطِنِيهِنَّ ، قَالَ: نَعَمْ قَالَ: عِنْدِي أَحْسَنُ الْعَرَبِ وَأَجْمَلُهُ ، أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ، أُزَوِّجُكَهَا ، قَالَ: نَعَمْ قَالَ: وَمُعَاوِيَةُ ، تَجْعَلُهُ كَاتِبًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ ، قَالَ: نَعَمْ قَالَ: وَتُؤَمِّرُنِي حَتَّى أُقَاتِلَ الْكُفَّارَ ، كَمَا كُنْتُ أُقَاتِلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ أَبُو زُمَيْلٍ: وَلَوْلاَ أَنَّهُ طَلَبَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا أَعْطَاهُ ذَلِكَ ، لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُسْأَلُ شَيْئًا إِلاَّ قَالَ: نَعَمْ.
Ibn 'Abbas said: "The Muslims would not look at Abu Sufyan nor sit with him. He said to the Prophet (s.a.w): 'O Prophet of Allah, give me three things.' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'I have with me the most beautiful and best (woman) of the Arabs, Umm Habibah bint Abi Sufyan, and I will give her to you in marriage.' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Make Mu'awiyah your scribe.' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'And appoint me as a commander so that I can fight the disbelievers as I used to fight the Muslims.' He said: 'Yes.'" Abu Zumail said: "If he had not asked the Prophet (s.a.w) for that, he would not have given him that, because whenever he was asked for something he would say: 'Yes.'"

"When a person dies, his works end, except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him."
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)
"The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him."
Sunan Ibn Mājah
"Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, 'O Allah! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,' and the other (angel) says, 'O Allah! Destroy every miser.'"
