Magheera bin Shuba, a prominent companion, advised Muawiya R.A. to designate a successor. He pointed out that the previous conflicts had decimated a large portion of the Muslim community, and the original companions were diminishing. The new Muslims, those who converted after the conquests or following the revelation of Surah At-Tawbah, lacked the strong tribal affiliations that had previously maintained central authority. Magheera warned that without the backing of a powerful tribe, the system of the Caliphate would not remain unified. Muawiya initially hesitated but ultimately understood the necessity of appointing Yazid as his heir. It's important to note that disagreement with Muawiya's decision is permissible, but questioning his intentions is not, given his status as a companion of the Prophet.
