"Put dust on your writings, because it is better, and dust is blessed (being humble in correspondence brings good results)."  

ابن ماجة:٣٧٧٤ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَنْبَأَنَا بَقِيَّةُ أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ تَرِّبُوا صُحُفَكُمْ أَنْجَحُ لَهَا إِنَّ التُّرَابَ مُبَارَكٌ
