Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33104 — Understanding of the religion

Muhammad bin Ka'b al-Qurazi said: I heard Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) say in a sermon: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say, while he was upon these pieces of wood: 'O Allah, none can withhold what You give, and none can give what You withhold. Whoever Allah Almighty intends good for, He grants him understanding of the religion.'"
