Jami at-Tirmidhi 2713 — Drying Ink After Writing

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 2713

This hadith about writing etiquette reports that when someone writes something, he should dust it so the ink dries, because that is more conducive to the need. The wording refers to a practical writing habit from a time when ink needed to settle on the page. The Arabic text also includes Abu Isa’s note that this hadith is munkar and that the narrator Hamzah is weak in hadith. So it should be presented with that caution from the same provided text. The main idea inside the report is practical: written communication should be handled in a way that helps the message remain usable. It is not a broad ruling in this explanation, but a reported writing practice with a stated grading concern.
