His eyes could not see, yet his memory amazed Sa‘id ibn al-Musayyib, Ibn Sirin and Imam Ahmad. The third book of Tracing the Scholars of Islam tells the story of Qatadah ibn Di‘amah, student of Anas ibn Malik and al-Hasan al-Basri, from the Qur’an, authentic Hadith and the recognised books of biography, with unproven stories clearly marked. “Blinded are the hearts which are within the breasts.”
“Rather, the Qur’an is distinct verses [preserved] within the breasts of those who have been given knowledge. And none reject Our verses except the wrongdoers.”
