When the Prophet ﷺ came to Medina, I was brought to him, and I recited to him. He said to me: "Learn the writing of the Jews, for I do not trust them with our writing." He said: "Fifteen days had not passed before I had learned it, and I used to write for the Prophet ﷺ and to read to him their letters."
