 [[Sulaym b. Qays al-Hilali]] states, "When Mu'awiya came to kufa, Imam al-Hasan (a) went up the pulpit and after praising God said: 'I take oath to God, if people pledged allegiance to me and helped me, the sky would generously grant them its rain and the earth would give them its bless, and you Mu'awiya would never be tempted to take over caliphate.'"
-Imam al-Hasan (a) refers to the disloyalty and lack of support from people in a sermon by saying, "If I had a friend or a companion, I would never hand the caliphate on to Mu'awiya, since the caliphate is prohibited to [[Banu Umyya]]." Moreover, he replied to the person protesting the peace: "I handed the caliphate on to Mu'awiya on account that I did not have enough companions to fight with him. If I had some, I would fight with him day and night to finally defeat him."
