Muwatta Malik #1755
The Decree
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yazid ibn Ziyad that Muhammad
ibn Kab al-Quradhi said, ''Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan said from the
mimbar, 'O people! Nothing keeps away what Allah gives and nothing
gives what Allah keeps away. The earnestness of the earnest one does
not profit him. When Allah desires good for him, he gives him
understanding in the deen.' Then Muawiya said, 'I heard these words
from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
on these blocks of wood.' "
