Mu'awiya bin Hind was the product of Nikah Ijtimah (Combined Nikah)
Ibn Abi al Hadeed in Sharh Nahjul Balagha notes the following in Volume 10 page 130:
"When Mu'awiya was born, four people were thought to have been his father Abi bin Umar bin Musaafir, Abi Umar bin Waleed, Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib and Sabah the Ethiopian. 'Abu Sufyan was short and ugly whilst Sabah was young and handsome, Hinda offered him s*x and amongst the Arabs there was also a view that 'Abu Sufyan's other son Utbah was also a product of this union".
Similarly in Rabi'ul Abrar by Allamah Zamakhshari Volume 3 page 551:
"There were four people who were thought to be Mu'awiya's father, Abi bin Umar bin Musaafir, Abi Umar bin Waleed, Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib and Sabah"
Rabi'ul Abrar by Allamah Zamakhshari Volume 3 page 551
In Tadkhirath al Khawwas page 114 Chapter 7 we read:
"Sham bin Muhammad Kalbi in his book Kitab Mushab notes that Imam Hasan said to Mu'awiya 'Are you aware of the bed from which you was conceived?' This means he was born from four fathers".
In Thanzeeya al Nasab fi Kubul al Arab we learn that:
"In relation to the birth of Mu'awiya, four men were viewed to have been his father Umr bin Waleed bin Mugheera, Musaafir Abi Umar, 'Abu Sufyan and a forth individual was also involved. Hinda was a prostitute and had s*x with black men, if any children were born from such a union she would kill them."
We read Sharh Ibn al Hadeed Volume 4 page 94 under the Chapter "Mun Kitab Ziyad Ubayya" that:
"Mu'awiya wrote a letter to Ziyad, the contents of which included the words 'O son of Sumayya' (amongst the Arabs there was a tradition that if one's ancestry was questionable, then that individual would be called by their mother's name. In the same way that Imam Hasan referred to Marwan as 'Ibn Zurqa'- Mu'awiya sought to mock Ziyad by calling him the son of Sumayya…Ziyad replied to Mu'awiya with these words 'Mu'awiya you called me by the name of my mother Sumayya, so as to mock me, well if I am the son of Sumayya then you are 'Ibne Jamaat' as you was a product of Nikah ijtimah".
Muasalib ibne Sa'man munkool uz thun'zeey al Nasab page 97 that:
"Research has established that Musafir was a handsome and generous man, he fell in love with Hinda and fornicated with her, she was unmarried and became pregnant, this came to the knowledge of the Quraysh and Musafir ran away. Hinda's father Utbah summoned Mu'awiya's father Abu Sufyan - bribing with a huge dowry, he married him to Hinda. Mu'awiya was born three months after the marriage."
We read in al-Nasa'ih al-Kaafiyah page 85 we read:
Musafir was a handsome, generous man - he fell in love with the daughter of Utbah, and she fell in love with him. She became pregnant. Maarif Ibne Khurbooz states that when her signs of pregnancy became visible Hinda told Musafir to flee and he made his way out of the city. Naufal states that Musafir was one of those individuals that was killed on account of his love of Hinda.
Hadhrath Ayesha's testimony that Hinda committed Zina
We read in Tadkhira Khawass page 62 Chapter "Dhikr Khwaarij" we read that
"when Mu'awiya's sister Umme Habeeba received news about Muhammad bin Abu Bakr's murder, she sent Ayesha a cooked goat suggesting that the reason for his killing was his murder of Uthman. When this happened Ayesha said "May Allah (swt) kill this daughter of fornicating woman. By Allah! I shall never eat this meat again".
