عَن زيدٍ بن ثابتٍ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ كَاتِبٌ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: " ضَعِ الْقَلَمَ عَلَى أُذُنِكَ فَإِنَّهُ أَذْكَرُ لِلْمَآلِ. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ وَفِي إِسْنَادِهِ ضعفٌ
Zaid bin Thabit Narrated from:
I went to the Prophet ﷺ. There was a scribe sitting with him. I heard him say, 'Place the pen on your ear, for, it keeps the mind sharp for (correct) expression!'" [1]
