Final words of Hazrat Ameer Muawiؓya
¹Makhul reported that when Ameer Muawؓiya (died. 671) was on his deathbed, he called his children and wife and said to them bring that special chest, they brought it out, it was locked.
Makhul said we thought it contained diamonds.
Muawiyؓa said, “I have treasured this until today, open it!”
When we opened it, there were 3 pieces of cloth. Muawiya said, “this is the shirt of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, this is the cloak he wore on the farewell pilgrimage, I also asked him to give me the loincloth he was wearing, so he said when I go home I will send It to you.
He then sent it to me.
Then one day when he was having his hair cut, I asked ‘please give me these hairs’, he said ‘take them Muawiya’.
So, when I die, shroud me in the shirt of the Messenger ﷺ, and cover me with his cloak, and scatter the Messenger’s ﷺ hair. over me, put them on my face and over my chest, it will attract the kindness of my Kind Lord ﷻ”.
Allah ﷻ Knows Best!

When the Caliphate shifted to Amir al-Mu’mineen 'Ali ؓ he removed him from his position. Fierce fighting erupted between these two parties. Then arbitration took place and many events happened afterwards until al-Hasan ibn 'All relinquished his right to the Caliphate to him. After this there were many conquests. Then he selected hiss on Yazid as his successor, a decision not agreed upon by the major Companions. He passed away during the year 60H and was buried in Damascus, the exact location of which is differed upon.
