Hazrat Muawiyah (Radhiyallahu Anhu)
Q: I have some questions regarding Hazrat Muawiyah (Radhiyallahu Anhu).
- Was he one of the scribes who wrote down the Qur'an or simply one of the scribes who dictated Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa salam's letters to other rulers?
- Is it true that there is a hadeeth in Saheeh Bukhari narrating how Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalam) explicitly cursed him?
- Are there also hadeeths narrating how Muawiyah (Radhiyallahu Anhu) will be denied water from Nabi (Sallahu Alayhi Wasalam's) hands at Al-Kawthar and how Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalam) cursed him because he (Radhiyallahu Anhu) kept on eating eating while Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalam) was summoning him?
- Was his sister one of the Ummul Mu'mineen (Radhiyallahu anhum)? Did Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalam) make dua that he would be a great king?
