[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»
