86 WISOOM OF THE HOLY PROPHET 13. He who acquires knowledge in his early years is like one who engraves on stone, and he who acquires it late in life is like one who writes on water. 14. Preserve knowledge through writing. 15. Seek assistance from your right hand by writing down that which you are likely to forget. 16. Restore to the Muslims their lost property, namely, learning. 17. Greed deprives the minds of the learned of wisdom. 18. He who is endowed with intelligence will prosper. 19. To find knowledge you have to seek it. 20. Knowledge which is concealed is lost. 21. A shy person and an arrogant one fail :n their pursuit of knowledge. 22. When a learned man is asked: Who is most learned? he should refer all knowledge to Allah. 23. A scholar among the virtuous is like the moon among the stars. 24. Brevity is good. * * *
