حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الْفَيْضِ قَال سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ يَقُولُ کَانَ بَيْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَبَيْنَ أَهْلِ الرُّومِ عَهْدٌ وَکَانَ يَسِيرُ فِي بِلَادِهِمْ حَتَّی إِذَا انْقَضَی الْعَهْدُ أَغَارَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ عَلَی دَابَّةٍ أَوْ عَلَی فَرَسٍ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ أَکْبَرُ وَفَائٌ لَا غَدْرٌ وَإِذَا هُوَ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبَسَةَ فَسَأَلَهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ عَنْ ذَلِکَ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ کَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ قَوْمٍ عَهْدٌ فَلَا يَحُلَّنَّ عَهْدًا وَلَا يَشُدَّنَّهُ حَتَّی يَمْضِيَ أَمَدُهُ أَوْ يَنْبِذَ إِلَيْهِمْ عَلَی سَوَائٍ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بِالنَّاسِ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 1580
Narrated Abu Al-Faid: I heard Sulaim bin 'Amir saying: 'There was a treaty between Mu'awiyah and the people of Rome. He was making an expedition into their lands so that when the period of the treaty was expires he would attack them. So when a man upon an animal' - or - 'upon a horse said: Allahu Akbar! Fulfillment not betrayal! - and it turned out to be 'Amr bin 'Abasah - Mu'awiyah asked him about that. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Whoever has a treaty between himself and a people, then let him not violate the treaty nor try to change it until its time has passed, or , in retribution for a similar offense.' He said: So Mu'awiyah returned with the people. [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.
