[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "O Allah, there is no withholder for what You have given, nor giver for what You have withheld. Whoever Allah intends good for, He grants him understanding of the religion."  

الطبراني:١٦٨٩٨حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى الْحِمَّانِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ كَعْبٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ يَقُولُ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ مَنْ يُرِدِ اللهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُفَقِّهْهُ فِي الدِّينِ»

ahmad:16929

[Machine] "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: O Allah, there is no preventer for what You have given, and there is no giver for what You have prevented, and this effort of mine cannot benefit anyone besides You. Whomsoever You desire good for, You make him understand the religion. And the best women who rode the camels are the righteous women of the Quraysh. They protected them with their own hands and supported them with their children from a young age."

ahmad:16839Wakīʿ > Usāmah b. Zayd > Muḥammad b. Kaʿb al-Quraẓī

[Machine] Muawiyah on the minbar: O Allah, there is no one who can prevent what You give, and no one who can give what You prevent. And the wisdom of this matter is not of any benefit if it does not come from You. Whoever You want to bestow good upon, You make them understand the religion. I heard these words from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on this minbar.

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say about these occasions, "O Allah, there is no one who can withhold what You give, nor is there anyone who can give what You withhold. And no one can benefit from the seriousness of their own efforts except by Your seriousness. Whoever Allah intends good for, He grants understanding of the religion."
