أمرتك أمراً حازماً فعصيتني

السياق · The story

Muawiyah consulted Amr ibn al-As regarding Abdullah ibn Hashim ibn Utbah. Amr advised killing him because he was the son of Hashim, who had fought alongside Ali ibn Abi Talib. Muawiyah disobeyed this advice and pardoned him. Amr then wrote to Muawiyah outlining his view, and upon receiving these verses, Abdullah ibn Hashim wrote back to Muawiyah, who ultimately pardoned him.
