[Machine] There was a Sahabi called Thabit ibn Ubaid who asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , "Do you speak Syriac?" I said, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Learn it, for it brings us books." So, within seventeen days, I learned it. Al-A'mash said, "Books used to come to him and no one could read them except those who trusted him." This Hadith is considered Sahih if it is proven that Thabit ibn Ubaid heard it from Zaid ibn Thabit without any interruption.
لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَتُحْسِنُ السُّرْيَانِيَّةَ؟» فَقُلْتُ لَا قَالَ «فَتَعَلَّمْهَا فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِينَا كُتُبٌ» فَتَعَلَّمْتُهَا فِي سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا قَالَ الْأَعْمَشُ «كَانَتْ تَأْتِيَهُ كُتُبٌ لَا يَشْتَهِي أَنْ يَطَّلِعَ عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا مَنْ يَثِقُ بِهِ» صَحِيحٌ إِنْ كَانَ ثَابِتُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ صحيح إن كان ثابت سمعه من زيد
