Well that is the shia view.

I disagree with them, but don't see any point in arguing about it.

Its like crying over spilt milk.

Muaweyah bin Hind is a character whose antics have been meticulously recorded in the annals of history. From his birth onwards, the historians and Sunni scholars have managed to provide a significant insight in to the character of Muaweyah. His role within the history if Islam during the advent of Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh&hp)mission is non-existent. In fact he spent the vast portion of it on the opposite side with his alleged father being 'Abu Sufyan leader of the Banu Umayya Clan who sought to undermine, fight and destroy the message of the Prophet(pbuh&hp). Abu Sufyan eventually conceded defeat following the conquest of Mecca and allegedly embraced Islam.

Hazrat Abdullah ibne Umar al Khattab said : Verily Muaweyah's coffin is in the deepest part of Hell, Had Firawn not declared that he was the most superior God, nobody would have been in a deeper part of Hell than Muaweyah - Waq'at Sifeen page 217
In the same way as Prophet Muhammad (pbuh&hp) was opposed by Abu Sufyan, his alleged son Muaweyah carried on the mantle of his father opposing the rightful khalifa (caliph) Imam Ali during his lifetime, refusing to give him bayya (oath of allegiance) and even after his martyrdom vented his hatred of Imam Ali via the disgraceful practice of cursing him during the Friday Sermons.

Muaweyah's enmity towards the Prophet (pbuh&hp) did not restrict him to just opposing Imam Ali (A,S) and other descendants of Prophet (p), but also made him murder several companions and a wife of the Prophet (p) as well.

He killed the Mother of the Believers Ayesha in cold blood after ordering the killing of her brother Muhammad bin Abu Bakar. He was also responsible for the killings of many other companions of the Prophet (p) including Hajar bin Adi and Ammar Yasir.

Despite his disgraceful acts, a new generation of Nasbis (also called Wahabis or Deobandis) disguising themselves as Sunnis, have appeared in recent years declaring their affiliation with Muaweyah and defending his actions and praising them. The Sunni Muslims are slowly falling prey to this conspiracy by the enemies of the Prophet (pbuh&hp) and his progeny (AS).

Mullah Azam Tariq, chief of Wahabi terrorist group Sipah e Sahaba
In Pakistan a group called Sipah e Sahaba (Army of the Companions) is at the fore front of this filthy Wahabi generation. Azam Tariq, chief of Sipah e Sahaba, has named his son after Muaweyah to show his affection to the arch rival of the Prophet (pbuh) and his holy family.

Muaweyah murdered Mother of believers, Lady Ayesha

"Mauweyah invited Ayesha for dinner, and he got a ditch dug in the ground, filling it up with sharp knives and swords, with their blades facing upwards. According to Alama Ibn Khaldoon, Mauweyah masked that ditch with lanky pieces of wood, and spread a carpet on top of it all to camouflage it. He placed a wooden chair over it for Ayesha to sit. No sooner Ayesha sat on the chair, the whole set up retrieved and she fell in the pit, injuring herself from head to toe, and breaking a lot of bones. To hide his felony, Mauweyah got the ditched filled up with lime. That is how he murdered Ayesha; she was sixty four years old when Mauweyah murdered her towards the end of 57 Hijri. This proves, with out a doubt, that Mauweyah was an enemy of Prophet Mohammed (p), and he proved his enmity towards the Prophet (p) by murdering his (p) wife. The only reason that Mauweyah performed this heinous act was that Ayesha stopped him from making fun of Islam from the pulpit of Masjid-e-Nabvi.. This is why no one knows the exact location of Ayesha’s grave in Medina."

Following the death of Muhammad bin 'Abu Bakr the people of Egypt gave bayya to Muaweyah. It was following this (event) that Ummul Mu'mineen Ayesha would curse Muaweyah and Amr bin Aas after every Salaat.

Tadhkira ul Khawass page 62

...Due to this crime, Allah (SWT)’s wrath fell on Mauweyah and parts of his body became paralyzed, and he became delusional. It was under this state of delusion that Mauweyah acknowledged he had ordered the murder of many companions of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh&hp) and their children for the sake of his tyrant son Yazid....

....Mauweya was a nefarious politician. He was the son of Abu Sufyan, the leader of Mecca, who spent his whole life opposing Prophet Mohammad (pbuh&hp) in Mecca. He was also the leader of every pagan army that fought against the Islamic armies. Muaweyah’s mother was Hinda, who martyred Hazrat Hamza (RA), Prophet Mohammad's (pbuh&hp) uncle and chopped his body into pieces, which didn’t satisfy her appetite, so she tried to eat his heart. Mauweyah never accepted Islam in his heart. After the conquest of Mecca by Prophet Mohammad (pbuh&hp), both Mauwiya and his father Abu Sufyan accepted Islam as a necessity of the time with a loathing heart. After the murder of Uthman, Mauweyah rebelled against the fourth elected caliph Hazrat Ali (RA).

...All Historians have mentioned in disgust that Mauweyah (the governor of Damascus) back stabbed Islam when he made a thirty year peace treaty with the Roman king, rather than fighting for Islam, according to which Syria came under the rule of Roman empire and Mauweyah agreed to give thirty thousand coins, fifty Arab slaves and fifty Arab horses to the Roman king every year.

All of the Muslims of that era disliked this gesture of Mauwiya and cursed him."
