The Benefits of Putting a Pen on Your Ear

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised scribes to put the pen on their ear in order to remember better.

Narrated Zaid bin Thabit: "I entered upon the Messenger of Allah while there was a scribe in front of him, and I heard him saying: 'Put the pen on your ear, for that is more conducive to the scribe remembering'."
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَنْبَسَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَاذَانَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ كَاتِبٌ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ ضَعِ الْقَلَمَ عَلَى أُذُنِكَ فَإِنَّهُ أَذْكَرُ لِلْمُمْلِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَهُوَ إِسْنَادٌ ضَعِيفٌ ‏.‏ وَعَنْبَسَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زَاذَانَ يُضَعَّفَانِ فِي الْحَدِيثِ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was known for his wisdom and knowledge. He often gave advice that was beneficial for people in all aspects of life. In this hadith, he is advising scribes to put the pen on their ear when writing something down as it will help them remember better. This is because when we hear something with our ears, it helps us remember more easily than if we just read it with our eyes. By putting the pen on their ear while writing, they can hear what they are writing and thus be able to recall it more easily later on. This advice is not only applicable for scribes but also anyone who needs help remembering things such as students or professionals who need to take notes during meetings or lectures.
