Q: While I was reading an article on Arabic calligraphy written by a Moroccan artist, it struck my attention that he mentioned the two following Hadiths:
"Indeed, calligraphers and tailors earn their living through exhausting the depth of their eyes."
."
Give importance to good handwriting for it is one of the keys of Rizq (sustenance)
"
I quickly wrote to you asking about the authenticity of these two Hadiths.
A:
The second Hadith, it is a Mawdu` (fabricated) Hadith as reported by
Al-Saghany. As for the saying:"Indeed, calligraphers and tailors earn their living through exhausting the depths of their eyes", it is not a Hadith according to our knowledge.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
