(Book 46, Hadith 8) #36682
The Power of Allah's Decree

SUMMARY: Allah is the ultimate source of all good and bad, and no amount of effort can change what He has decided.

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, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, on these blocks of wood'. "
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ لاَ مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَى اللَّهُ وَلاَ مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعَ اللَّهُ وَلاَ يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْهُ الْجَدُّ مَنْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُفَقِّهْهُ فِي الدِّينِ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ سَمِعْتُ هَؤُلاَءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ عَلَى هَذِهِ الأَعْوَادِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the power of Allah's decree. It tells us that nothing can keep away what Allah has given or give what He has kept away. No matter how hard we try to achieve something if it is not meant for us then we will not be able to get it. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us that when Allah desires good for someone then He gives them understanding in the deen. This means that when a person is sincere in their faith and puts effort into learning about Islam then they will be blessed with knowledge from God Himself which will help them understand His religion better. Finally, this hadith was narrated by Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan who heard these words from the Prophet Muhammad himself on blocks of wood which shows how important these teachings are for Muslims to remember and follow in their lives.
