(1). 3350. Al-Qāsim bin Al-Faḍl Al-Ḥuddānī narrated from Yūsuf bin Sa'd, who said: "A man stood up in front of Al-Ḥasan bin 'Alī, after he pledged to Mu'āwiyah, so he said: 'You have made fools of the believers.' - or: 'O you who has made fools of the believers' - So he said: 'Do not scold me so, may Allāh have mercy upon you, for indeed the Prophet ﷺ had a dream in which he saw Banu Umayyah upon his Minbar. That distressed him, so (the following) was revealed: Verily We have granted you Al-Kauthar (O Muḥammad) meaning a river in Paradise, and (the following) was revealed: 'Verily We have sent it down on the Night of Al-Qadr. And what will make you know what the Night of Al-Qadr is? The Night of Al-Qadr is better than a thousand months, in which Banū Umayyah rules after you O Muḥammad.'" Al-Qāsim said: "So we counted them, and found that they were one-thousand months, not a day more nor less." (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb. We do not know of it except through this route, as a
narration of Al-Qāsim bin Al-Faḍl, and it is (also) narrated: "From Al-Qāsim bin Al-Faḍl, from Yūsuf bin Māzin." Al-Qāsim bin Al-Faḍl Al-Ḥuddānī – he is trustworthy – Yaḥyā bin Sa'eed and 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Mahdī graded him trustworthy. Yūsuf bin Sa'd is an unknown person, and we do not know of this Hadīth with this wording except through this route.

Commentary
The contents of this Hadīth are the proof, were Banū Umayyah so bad he (ﷺ) would not have married from them, he would not have entrusted the task of scribing revelation to Mu'āwiyah; and Mu'āwiyah's reign of caliphate would not have been so peaceful and harmonious, and a factor of Islamic victories over other lands.
