It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: When Allah intends good for a servant, He grants him understanding of the religion. And a group from my Ummah will always remain upon the truth; they will not care about those who oppose them until the command of Allah comes, and they will be dominant over the people. Upon this, Malik bin Yukhamir as-Saksaki stood up and said: O Commander of the Believers! I heard Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) say that by this are meant the people of Sham. So Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) raised his voice and said: Malik is saying that he heard Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) say that by this are meant the people of Sham.
