1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah, from a man from Jamil who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘It is from Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, upon people, virtuous and sinful ones to write down and keep proper accounting. Without this they, certainly, suffer confusion and mistakes.’”
