*!* Answering before understanding is sheer idiocy (Manners of Dialogue!) *!*

Manners of Dialogue​

:salamext:​

Yahyaa ibn Khaalid (may Allah have mercy on him) said:​

لَا تُرَدَّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ جَوَاباً حَتَى تَفْهَمُ كَلَامَهُ​

Do not respond to anyone until you have understood their words,​

فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ يَصْرِ فُكَ عَنْ جَوَابِ كَلَامِهِ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ وَ يُؤَكِّدُ اَلجَهْلَ عَلَيْكَ​

For that will cause you to respond to what they have not said, and thus confirm your own ignorance.​

وَ لَكِنِ اَفْهَمْ عَنْهُ، فَإِذَا فَهِمْتَهُ فَأَجِبْهُ، وَ لَا تَتَعَجَّلْ بِالجَوَابِ قَبْل َالِاسْتِفْهَامِ​

Rather you must understand his speech properly. So when you understand him, then respond. And do not rush to answer before asking for clarity.​

وَ لَا تَسْتَحْيِ أَنْ تَسْتَفْهِمَ إِذَا لَمْ تَفْهَمْ، فَإِنَّ اَلجَوَابَ قَبْلَ اَلْفَهْمِ حُمْقٌ​

And do not be shy to seek clarity when you do not understand. For verily answering before understanding is sheer idiocy!​

وَ إِذَا جَهِلْتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَسْأَلَ، فَيَبْدُو لَكَ​

So if you do not know before asking, then ask! Then it will come to you.​

فَسُؤَالُكَ وَاسْتِفْهَامُكَ أَحْمَدُ بِكَ وَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ السُّكُوتِ عَلَى الْعَيِّ.​

Your questioning and seeking clarity is more praiseworthy and better for you then being silent and incapable of expressing yourself!​
