Description
al-Tuyuriyyat by Abi Tahir al-Afahani, Vol. 1, pg. 50, Report # 90:

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا محمد بن خلف بن المرزبان، حدثني الخاقاني المعروف بحماحم عن ابن أبي ناظرة ((أَنَّ ثلاثةَ مَشايِخَ حضَرُوا المسجِدَ الجامِعَ بالجانِبِ الغَرْبِيّ في يَوْمِ جُمْعةٍ، فقالَ واحِدٌ منهم لآِخَرَ يَلِيْه: جُعِلْتُ فِداكَ أيُّهُما أفضلُ؛ مُعاويةُ أو عيسى بنُ مريمَ؟ قالَ: لا، واللهِ ما أدْرِي، وسمِع الثالِثُ فقالَ: وَيْلَكَ، تَقِيْسُ كاتِبَ الوَحْيِ ‌إلَى ‌نبِيِّ ‌النَّصارَى؟)).

Ahmad told us, Muhammad told us, Muhammad b. Khalaf b. al-Marzaban told us, al-Khaqani known as Hamahem told me, from Ibn Abi Nazira:

“Three elders were present in the congregational mosque on the western side on a Friday. One of them said to the one beside him: ‘May I be your ransom, which of the two is better — Mu'awiya or Jesus b. Maryam?’ He replied: ‘By Allah, I do not know.’ The third heard this and said: ‘Woe to you! Do you compare the writer of revelation to the prophet of the Christians?’”
