accusations against Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him)

[AbuOmar]

Assalam alaykum,

Could someone please help with these sources that are quoted in these statements and give me some information regarding them:

On insulting Ali Ibn Abi Talib and cursing him during the Umayah period
starting in Muawiyah's reign, it is reported that:

"Ali Ibn Abi Talib was cursed on the pulpits (manabir) of the
east and west...", during the time of Muawiyah.

Sunni reference: Mu'jam al-Buldan, al-Hamawi, v5, p38

In her letter, Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet (PBUH) wrote to
Muawiyah: "...You are cursing Allah and His messenger on your minbar,
and that is because you are cursing Ali Ibn Abi Talib and whomever
loves him, and I am a witness that Allah and His messengerloved him."
But no one paid any attention to what she said.

Sunni reference: al-Aqd al-Fareed, v2, p300

"That it was in the days of Bani Umayyah, more than seventy thousand
minbar (in mosques) upon which they cursed Ali Ibn Abi-Talib, in some
of what Muawiyah made a Sunnah for them."

Sunni references:
- Rabeea' al-Abrar, al-Zamakhshari
- al-Hafidh Jalaluddin al-Suyuti

JazakhAllah khair.

I have read the AllahuAkbar.net article but what i really want to know is info about the books i highlighted...i mean where did these people get such stuff accusing Muawiyah RA of cursing Ali ibn Abi Talib RA ?

wa iyyakum.

you have to understand there was a lot of spurious reporting going on between the extream members of each faction.

'aqd al-fareed was written by a mu'tazili, hardly a sunni reference.

Remember, when a report is given we ask for the authenication of the matn.

also these contradict the tawatur of the ummah in theri regard for mu'awiyah(ra).

wa ALLAHU A'lam
