Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #668
Supplication
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ، قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ: إِنَّهُ لاَ مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَلاَ مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعَ اللَّهُ، وَلاَ يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْهُ الْجَدُّ. وَمَنْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُفَقِّهْهُ فِي الدِّينِ، سَمِعْتُ هَؤُلاَءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى هَذِهِ الأعْوَادِ.
Mu'awiya ibn Abi Sufyan said on the minbar, "None can withhold
what You give nor give what Allah withholds. The effort of a person who
makes an effort does not benefit him. When Allah desires good for a person,
He gives him understanding in the deen." He added, "I heard these words
from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace."
