📂 #Words_of_poetry captured from the mouth of our Shaykh Abu Hamzah Hassan bin Muhammad Ba Shu'ayb, may Allah preserve him and continue to delight us with his knowledge: _15_ العلمُ صيدٌ والكتابة قيدُهُ  ---  قيِّدْ صيودَك بالحبال الواثقهْ  Knowledge is a prey, and writing is its binding. فمن الحماقة أنْ تصيدَ غزالةً  ---  وتفكَّها بين الخلائق طالقهْ It's from stupidity to hunt a gazelle --- and to release it between the creation untied. The Shaykh mentioned these lines of poetry tonight in his advice to his students to write down benefits, so one can refer back to it when necessary, because we are not like Imam Ash-Sha'bi, may Allah have mercy upon him, who said: "I never put black to white". ___ Abu Ibraheem 'Abdullaah bin Ahmed Ba Alawi t.me/Bashuaiben
