بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيم
Muawiyah not only fought Imam ‘Ali, he cursed Imam ‘Ali as well. Furthermore, he did force/make everybody to curse ‘Ali (as). To prove it, we begin with
Sahih Muslim:
Narrated Sa’d Ibn Abi Waqqas: Muawiyah, the son of Abu Sufyan, give order to Sa’d, and told him: "What prevents you that you are refraining from cursing Abu Turab (nickname of ‘Ali)?” Sa’d replied: "Don’t you remember that the Prophet said three things about (the virtue of) ‘Ali? So I will never curse ‘Ali."
Sunni reference:
Sahih Muslim, Chapter of Virtues of Companions, Section of Virtues of ‘Ali, Arabic, v4, p1871, Tradition #32.
For the English version of Sahih Muslim, see Chapter CMXCVI, p1284,
Tradition #5916
أمر معاوية بن أبي سفيان سعدا ، فقال: مامنعك أن تسب أبا التراب ، فقال: أما ما ذكرت ثلاا قالهن له رسول الله (ص) فلن أسبه
The above tradition, by the way, indicates that Muawiyah was surprised why Sa’d does not follow his order of cursing ‘Ali, like others do.
This shows that cursing ‘Ali was a habit (Sunnah) for people at that time.
Who made this Sunnah?
Was it ‘Ali, or those who fought him?
Now, who fought against ‘Ali?
Wasn’t he Muawiyah (the beloved companion of Wahhabis)?
So this implies that Muawiyah did innovate that habit (cursing ‘Ali as Sunnah).
Below is more references in Sahih Muslim about Sunnah cursing Imam ‘Ali (as),
to prove that people were urged/forced to curse ‘Ali in public,
otherwise they would face a costly sentence.
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hazim that:
The Governor of Medina who was one of the members of the house of Marwan called Sahl Ibn Sa’d,
and ordered him to curse ‘Ali.
But Sahl refused to do so.
The governor said: "If you don’t want to curse ‘Ali,
just say God curse Abu Turab (the nickname of ‘Ali).
”Sahl said: "‘Ali did not like any name for himself better than Abu Turab,
and ‘Ali used to become very happy when somebody would call him Abu Turab.”
Sunni reference:
Sahih Muslim, Chapter of Virtues of Companions, Section of Virtues of ‘Ali, Arabic version, v4, p1874, Tradition #38.
Here is the Arabic text of the above tradition given by Sahih Muslim:
استعمل على المدينة رجل من آل مروان ، قال فدعا سهل بن سعد فأمره أن يشتم عليا ، قال: فأبى سهل ، فقال له: أمّا إذ أبيت فقل: لعن الله أبا التراب. فقال سهل: ما كان لعليٍّ اسم أحب إليهِ من أبي التراب و إن كان ليفرح إذا دُعيَّ به.
Cursing Imam ‘Ali (as) was an order from the beginning of Muawiyah’s reign for 65 years. He was Umar Ibn Abdil Aziz (may Allah be easy with him) who canceled this order after more than half a century. Some historians even believe that the Umayyah descendants themselves killed (poisoned) Umar Ibn Abdil Aziz, because he changed their Sunnah, one of which was cursing ‘Ali.
See the Sunni book entitled "History of the Saracens,”by Amir ‘Ali, Chapter X, pp 126-127
One of the ugliest innovations that started during the reign of Muawiyah was that Muawiyah himself, and through his order to his Governors, they used to insult Imam ‘Ali (as) during the Sermons in the Mosques. This was even done on the pulpit of the mosque of the Prophet in Medina in front of the grave of the Prophet Muhammad (May Allah bless him and his Progeny), so that even the dearest Companions of the Prophet (Saww), and Imam ‘Ali (as), his family and his near relatives used to hear these swears with their ears.

On insulting ‘Ali Ibn Abi Talib and cursing him during the Umayah period starting in Muawiyah’s reign, it is reported that:
"‘Ali Ibn Abi Talib (as) was cursed on the pulpits (manabir) of the east and west...", during the time of Muawiyah.
Sunni reference:
Mu’jam al-Buldan, al-Hamawi, v5, p38
In her letter, Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet (S) wrote to Muawiyah: "You are cursing Allah and His messenger on your minbar, and that is because you are cursing ‘Ali Ibn Abi Talib and whomever loves him, and I am a witness that Allah and His messenger loved him.” But no one paid any attention to what she said.
Sunni reference:
Al-Aqd al-Fareed, v2, p300
"That it was in the days of Bani Umayyah, more than seventy thousand minbar (in mosques) upon which they cursed ‘Ali Ibn Abi-Talib, in some of what Muawiyah made a Sunnah for them."

al-Hafidh Jalaluddin al-Suyuti
Al-Shaikh Ahmad al-Hafdhi al-Shafi’i,
composed 9 verses of poetry expanding on what al-Suyuti has reported in the previous quote,
I translated the first three verses:
And Shaikh al-Suyuti told:
That it was what they made into a "Sunnah". Seventy thousand mibar plus ten from the top of which they cursed Haydara (‘Ali). And next to this the greatest (sins) look small, but blame ought to be directed.
Let us now see the opinion of the son of Yazid about his father and his grandfather, who was the witness from within the royal family! When (Yazid) offered the kingdom (throne) to his son, Muawiyah the second, in order that the flag of caliphate continues to wave in the house of Abi Sufyan!!
After his death, Muawiyah the second, gathered the people on a well known day, he stood in them preaching, he said:
"My grandfather Muawiyah stripped the command from those who deserved it, and from one who is more justified of it, for his relation to the Messenger of Allah and his being first in Islam, and that is ‘Ali Ibn Abi Talib, he (Muawiyah) took over it by your help as you are fully aware."
"Then following it my father Yazid wore the command after him, and he did not deserve it. He quarreled with the son of the daughter of the Messenger of Allah, and by that he shortened his own life... He rode his whim and hope left him behind.”
Then he cried and continued: "Surely, the greatest problems of us is our knowledge of his bad behavior and his awful ending, and that he killed the progeny (Itrah) of the Messenger of Allah, and he permitted drinking alcohol, and he fought in the sanctuary of Mecca, and destroyed the Ka’ba.”
"And I am not the one who is dressing up for your command, nor the one to be responsible for your followers... You choose for yourselves..!!"
