Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 4186 — Abdullah bin Buraydah
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، ثنا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ عَنْ أَبِي هِلَالٍ الرَّاسِبِيِّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ 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
Abdullah bin Buraydah (may Allah have mercy on him) relates: Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) sent for Daghfal and asked him about the Arabic language, the genealogies of people and the stars, and he turned out to be a scholar (of these sciences). He said: "O Daghfal, where did you memorise this from?" He said: "I memorised it with a tongue that asks much and a heart that understands well, and the bane of knowledge is forgetfulness." He said: "Then take Yazid and teach him Arabic, the genealogies of Quraysh and the stars."
