Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan RA, one of the companions of the Prophet, was among the personality whom frequently hit by controversy. Some criticism towards him based on adverse stories have been published in many literatures, especially works on Islamic history. This is equally true for non-Arab writers when writing about Islamic history in their native language. Among the works was the book 'Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan' written by Abdullah b. Hamid al-Idrus. This book is among the earliest works in the Malay language that specifically address Muawiyah personality. However, this book not only presents the biography of Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan, but it also brings along adverse stories and defamation account of him. This article aims to examine the information and facts on Muawiyah in this book by employing historical critical methodology, especially in critiquing the doubtful facts about him. The findings show that the information presented in this book invites suspicious and awful image towards Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan RA. Moreover, this book does not apply the proper methodology in interpreting historical accounts. Most of the stories and narratives presented are mostly antagonistic and hateful.
