There is an increasing tendency among Sunnis to deny the fact that Mu'awiya, their master, used to abuse and curse Imam Ali (as). The point is: once it is proved that he did either of the two, his kufr (disbelief) is proved! This is because of this hadith:
"Whoever abuses Ali has abused me."
Shaykh Abu Ishaq al-Hawayni in his Tahdhib al-Khasais, p. 76, No. 86 states after recording it:
Its chain is sahih.
The Salafi hadithist, al-Daani ibn Muneer Aali al-Zaawee in his tahqiq of the hadith in Kitab al-Khasais states:
Its chain is hasan.
The hadith is also recorded in Musnad Ahmad 2/735 No. 1011. Its annotator, Wasiyullah Muhammad Abbas states:
Its chain is sahih.
Imam al-Suyuti has declared it sahih in his Jami' al-Sagheer 529 No. 8736.
Imam al-Munawi in his tahqiq of Jami al-Sagheer 2/817 also declares the hadith sahih.
Ibn al-Jazri in his Manaqib Usd al-Ghalib 20 has also declared it sahih.
When we look into the authoritative Sunni and Salafi sources, we discovered that Mu'awiya is proved to have, at least, abused Imam Ali (as) and also ordered others to do so.
Ibn Taymiyyah in his Minhaj al-Sunnah vol. 5, p. 42 states:
وأما حديث سعد لما أمره معاوية بالسب فأبى فقال ما منعك أن تسب علي بن أبي طالب فقال ثلاث قالهن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فلن أسبه لأن يكون لي واحدة منهن أحب إلي من حمر النعم الحديث فهذا حديث صحيح رواه مسلم في صحيحه وفيه ثلاث فضائل لعلي
As for the hadith of Sa'd, when Mu'awiya ORDERED him to abuse Ali, and he declined, and Mu'awiya asked him "What stops you from abusing Ali ibn Abu Talib?" and he answered "The Prophet said three things about him ....
Shaykh al-Albani in his Sahih Sunan Ibn Majah vol. 1, p. 26, number 118 records:
حدثنا علي بن محمد حدثنا أبو معاوية حدثنا موسى بن مسلم عن ابن سابط وهو عبد الرحمن عن سعد بن أبي وقاص قال قدم معاوية في بعض حجّاته ، فدخل عليه سعد فذكروا علياً فنالَ منه ، فغضب سعد وقال : تقول هذا في لرجل سمعتُ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول فيه : من كنتُ مولاه فعليّ مولاه . وسمعته يقول أنت مني بمنزلة هارون من موسى إلا أنه لا نبي بعدي . وسمعته يقول لأعطين الراية اليوم رجلا يحب الله ورسوله.؟)
Narrated Sa'd ibn Abi Waqas:
Mu'awiya returned from one of his confrontations, and Sa'd entered upon him. They mentioned Ali and he verbally attacked him. Thus Sa'd got angry, saying: "You said that about a man about whom I heard the Messenger of Allah said: 'Whosoever I am his master, Ali too is his master'. I also heard him say: 'O Ali, your rank in relation to me is like that of Harun to Musa except that there will be no prophet after me'. He also said (about Ali): I will give the flag today tom a man who loves Allah and His Messenger?".
Al-Albani says:
Sahih.
Ibn al-Jazri in his Manaqib Usd al-Ghalib 20 has also declared it sahih.

Conclusion: So, dear Sunni Brothers don't blame shias, it is found in your books that Muawiya used to abuse Ali. And whoever abuse Ali abuse me , says Prophet(s.a.w). Still you would respect such a man!!!. Whom do you love more Prophet(s.a.w) OR Muawiya!!!
