[Machine] Al-Qa'nabi narrated from Malik that Bakr ibn Sahl narrated from Abdullah ibn Yusuf that Malik narrated from Yazid ibn Ziyad who narrated that Muhammad ibn Ka'b al-Quradhi said, "Muawiya ibn Abu Sufyan was on the pulpit and he said, 'O people, indeed, there is no one who can prevent what Allah gives, nor is there anyone who can give what Allah withholds. And there is no benefit for the one with a strong lineage from it, nor does Allah intend good for anyone except He guides them in understanding the religion." Then he said, "I heard these words from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on these occasions."

malik:46-8Mālik > Yazīd b. Ziyād > Muḥammad b. Kaʿb al-Quraẓī

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 ﷺ on these blocks of wood.' "

[Machine] I heard Mu'awiyah deliver a sermon on this pulpit, saying, "Learn that there is no obstacle to what Allah gives, no giver of what Allah withholds, and the one who seeks good through Allah will be granted understanding in religion." I heard these words from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on these occasions.

[Machine] I heard Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan giving a sermon in Madinah, saying, "You should know, O people, that there is no withholder for what Allah gives, and no giver for what Allah withholds. And no one benefits from striving hard in the cause of Allah, except the one whom Allah intends good for and grants understanding in religion." I heard these words from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on these occasions.
