Muawiyah had four flaws, and any one of them would have been a serious offense:
His appointment of trouble makers for this community so that he stole its rule without consultation with its members, while there was a remnant of the Companions and possessors of virtue among them.
His appointment of his son as his successor after him, a drunkard and a winebibber who wears silk and plays tunburs.
His claim about Ziyad (as his son), while the Messenger of God (pbuh&HF) has said: 'The child belongs to the bed, and the adulterer should be stoned.'
His killing of Hujr and his companions. Woe unto him twice for Hujr and his companions.
