"a pen for a deenaar"

*Please appropriately reference this quote to: http://www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Muhammad ibn Mubashshir al-Karmeenee said:

((Muhammad ibn Salaam al-Baykandee's pen broke whilst in the gathering of a Shaykh, so he announced "a pen for a deenaar", whereby pens began to fall upon him (from all directions).))

Siyar A’laam an-Nubalaa. – Volume 10, Page 629

Note: So important was writing knowledge to him that he was willing to pay as much as 1 deenaar for a pen, whereby he received so many offers by people throwing their pens at him hoping to secure the deenaar in return for their pen.


my comments ( at that time one Dinar was a tremendous amount of money, to the scholars knowledge is secured through desire of goodness, which is priceless )
