عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ اللَّهُمَّ لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ وَلَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ مَنْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُفَقِّهْهُ فِي الدِّينِ سَمِعْتُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى هَذَا الْمِنْبَرِ
Muhammad bin Ka'b Qurazi says: Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said these words on the pulpit: O Allah! There is none who can withhold what You give, and none who can give what You withhold, and the wealthy cannot be saved from Your punishment by their wealth. Allah, when He intends good for someone, grants him understanding in religion. Then he said: I heard these words from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); he spoke them from this pulpit.
