[Machine] I heard the Prophet (PBUH) saying, "Surely, Allah does not become weary nor does He sleep, and there is no one other than Him who can predict what He does not know. Whoever Allah intends good for, He grants him understanding in the religion."  

الطبراني:١٦٩٧٩حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ ثنا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ أَبِي مُزَاحِمٍ ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ رَبٍّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُغْلَبُ وَلَا يُخْلَبُ وَلَا يُنَبَّأُ بِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ يُرِدِ اللهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُفَقِّهْهُ فِي الدِّينِ»

I heard Mu'awiya b. Abu Sufyan saying in an address that he had heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: He to whom Allah intends to do good, He gives him insight into religion. And I am only the distributor while Allah is the Bestower.  

مسلم:١٠٣٧bوَحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ يَقُولُ إِنِّي

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُفَقِّهْهُ فِي الدِّينِ وَإِنَّمَا أَنَا قَاسِمٌ وَيُعْطِي اللَّهُ

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If Allah wants to do good for somebody, he makes him comprehend the Religion (i.e. Islam), and Allah is the Giver and I am Al-Qasim (i.e. the distributor), and this (Muslim) nation will remain victorious over their opponents, till Allah's Order comes and they will still be victorious." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3116)

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "If Allah wants to do good to a person, He makes him comprehend the religion. I am just a distributor, but the grant is from Allah. (And remember) that this nation (true Muslims) will keep on following Allah's teachings strictly and they will not be harmed by any one going on a different path till Allah's order (Day of Judgment) is established."
