٣٦٥٣ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ ‌عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ ‌جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ ‌مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُهُ يَخْطُبُ يَقُولُ: «مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَلَاثٍ وَسِتِّينَ» وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَأَنَا ابْنُ ثَلَاثٍ وَسِتِّينَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

Mu'āwiyah wished to die at the age of sixty-three but his wish was not fulfilled. When he died, he was eighty years of age. (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadī v.4 p.307.)
