Mu’awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to Aishah: “Write me a letter advising me, but do not make it lengthy.” She wrote: “Peace be upon you. To proceed: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘Whoever seeks Allah’s pleasure at the expense of people’s displeasure, Allah will suffice him against the burden of people. Whoever seeks people’s pleasure at the expense of Allah’s displeasure, Allah will leave him to the people.’ Peace be upon you.”
