12. Chapter of Zay (Male)
١٢۔ بَابُ الزَّايِ
[Machine] I used to write for the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and I would place the pen on my ear when the order for battle came. Then a blind man came to him and said, "How can I fight when I am blind?" So, the verse was revealed: "There is no blame upon the blind."
كُنْتُ أَكْتُبُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِنِّي لَوَاضِعٌ الْقَلَمَ عَلَى أُذُنِي إِذْ أُمِرَ بِالْقِتَالِ إِذْ جَاءَ أَعْمَى فَقَالَ كَيْفَ بِي وَأَنَا ذَاهِبُ الْبَصَرِ؟ فَنَزَلَتْ {لَيْسَ عَلَى الْأَعْمَى حَرَجٌ}
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, books from people come to me, and I do not like for anyone to read them. Can you learn the Syriac language?" I said, "Yes." So, I learned it in seventeen (years).
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّهُ يَأْتِينِي كُتُبٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَلَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَقْرَأَهَا كُلُّ أَحَدٍ فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَتَعَلَّمَ كِتَابَ السُّرْيَانِيَّةِ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ «فَتَعَلَّمْتُهَا فِي سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "Books are coming to me from people that I do not like everyone to read. Can you learn the Syriac language?" I said, "Yes." He said, "So I learned it in seventeen days."
لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَأْتِينِي كُتُبٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ لَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَقْرَأَهَا كُلُّ أَحَدٍ فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَتَعَلَّمَ كِتَابَ السُّرْيَانِيَّةِ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَتَعَلَّمْتُهَا فِي سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ»
