Bad Handwriting

If you think your handwriting is bad – Safi al-Din al-Hindi said:

وجدت في سوق الكتب مرة كتابا بخط ظننته أقبح من خطي فغاليت في ثمنه واشتريته لأحتج به على من يدعي أن خطي أقبح الخطوط فلما عدت إلى البيت وجدته بخطي القديم
′′I found a book at the antique dealer whose handwriting was worse than mine.
I bought it so I could use it as evidence against those who thought my handwriting was bad.
When I arrived home, I noticed it was an old writing of mine. ′′

[“Tabaqaat al-Shaafi’iyah”, 9/92].
