His Simplicity and Abstinence

Even when Hadhrat Mu'aawiya RADI. was the Ameerul Mu'mineen of the entire Muslim empire, he dressed as simply as Hadhrat Umar RADI. His clothes had patches and he would even walk around in the marketplaces like this. Hadhrat Yunus bin Mida RAH. reports that he saw Hadhrat Mu?aawiya RADI. walking in the marketplace of Damascus wearing a garment that was patched at the collar. Hadhrat Abu Hamla RAH. said that he saw Hadhrat Mu'aawiya RADI. delivering a sermon while wearing patched clothing.
