حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ اللَّهُمَّ لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ وَلَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ مَنْ يُرِدْ اللَّهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُفَقِّهُّ فِي الدِّينِ سَمِعْتُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى هَذَا الْمِنْبَرِ.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
Waki' told us: Usamah ibn Zayd told us, from Muhammad ibn Ka'b al-Qurazi, who said: Mu'awiyah said on the pulpit: O Allah, none can withhold what You give, and none can give what You withhold, and the fortune of the fortunate does not avail him against You. Whomever Allah intends good for, He gives him understanding of the religion. I heard these words from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on this very pulpit.
