About the message

The card attributes a saying about sharing knowledge to Hammad al-Ansari. His son Abd al-Awwal records the same words as saying 260 in volume two of his biography, page 586, introducing them as something he heard his father say. The page identifies that first-person biographical source rather than presenting the words as an anonymous maxim.

A separate share-knowledge prompt appears beside the share icon. That prompt belongs to the artwork and is not part of the recorded saying. The entry does not label either sentence a Quran verse or prophetic hadith. The English article describes the original Arabic design and the type of attribution it carries.

Behind the design

At 626 by 312 pixels, this is the smallest original in the batch. The quotation occupies three lines: brown for the opening, blue for its reference to young people, and green for the final action. The scholar’s name sits at the upper right, with a small citation at the lower left.

A brown frame and red corner shapes enclose the cream interior. A black zigzag finishes the lower edge. A book and quill occupy the lower right beneath the red sharing prompt and icon. The strong colour progression keeps the short quotation easy to identify, although the original file size limits how much its small citation can be enlarged.
