Ustadh Farid Dingle
عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ رضي الله عنه انه قال: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم مَنْ يُرِدْ اللَّهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُفَقِّهْهُ فِي الدِّينِ
It was reported by Mua’wiyah that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, “If Allah wants good for someone, he gives him understanding of the religion.”
