وَعَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَنَّهُ كَتَبَ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ رضي الله عنها أَنِ اكْتُبِي إِلَيَّ كِتَابًا تُوصِينِي فِيهِ وَلَا تُكْثِرِي. فَكَتَبَتْ: سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ: فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُول: «من التمَس رضى الله بسخط النَّاس كفاهُ اللَّهُ مؤونة النَّاس وَمن التمس رضى النَّاسِ بِسَخَطِ اللَّهِ وَكَلَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى النَّاسِ» وَالسَّلَام عَلَيْك. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
Mu'awiyah Narrated from:
Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah رضي الله عنه narrated that he wrote to Sayyidah Ayshah رضي الله عنها, "Write to me a letter giving me instructions, but do not make that very lengthy." She wrote, "Peace be on you! To proceed! I had heard Allah's Messenger ﷺ say, "He who seeks Allah's pleasure though that might bring people's anger Allah suffices him against their confrontation. But, he who seeks the pleasure of the people though that might displease Allah, will be entrusted by Allah to the people,' And, peace be on you." [1]
