حَدَّثَنِي عَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمَعْقِرِيُّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْيَمَامِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُمَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ لَا يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَلَا يُقَاعِدُونَهُ، فَقَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ ثَلَاثٌ 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: وَلَوْلَا أَنَّهُ طَلَبَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا أَعْطَاهُ ذَلِكَ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُسْأَلُ شَيْئًا إِلَّا قَالَ: «نَعَمْ».

The Muslims neither looked to Abu Sufyan رضی اللہ عنہ (with respect) nor did they sit in his company. he (Abu Sufyan) said to Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ): Allah's Apostle, confer upon me three things. He replied in the affirmative. He (further) said: I have with me the most handsome and the best (woman) Umm Habiba رضی اللہ عنہا , daughter of Abu Sufyan; marry her, whereupon he said: Yes. And he again said: Accept Mu'awiya to serve as your scribe. He said: Yes. He again said: Make me the commander (of the Muslim army) so that I should fight against the unbelievers as I fought against the Muslims. He said: Yes. Abu Zumnail said: If he had not asked for these three things from Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ), he would have never conferred them upon him, for it was (his habit) to accede to everybody's (earnest) request
