حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ ثنا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ عَنْ أَبِي هِلَالٍ الرَّاسِبِيِّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ

أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ ؓ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى دَغْفَلٍ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ وَعَنْ أَنْسَابِ النَّاسِ وَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ النُّجُومِ فَإِذَا عَالِمٌ فَقَالَ يَا دَغْفَلُ مِنْ أَيْنَ حَفِظْتَ هَذَا؟ فَقَالَ «حَفِظْتُ هَذَا بِلِسَانٍ سَئُولٍ وَقَلْبٍ عَقُولٍ وَإِنَّ آفَةَ الْعِلْمِ النِّسْيَانُ» قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ بِيَزِيدَ فَعَلِّمْهُ الْعَرَبِيَّةَ وَأَنْسَابَ قُرَيْشٍ وَالنُّجُومَ

✧ Mu'awiya ؓ sent to Daghfal and asked him about Arabic, about the genealogies of people, and about the stars, and he found him a scholar. He said, 'O Daghfal, from where did you memorize this?' He said, 'I memorized this with an inquiring tongue and a comprehending heart, and the bane of knowledge is forgetfulness.' He said, 'Then go with Yazid and teach him Arabic, the genealogies of Quraysh, and the stars.'
