The Meanings of Reports · Hadith 142 (#Ḥadīth #4)

وقال محمد بن الحسن بن أبي خالد الأشعري الملقب بشنبولة: بئر معطلة وقصر مشرف * مثل لآل محمد مستطرف فالناطق القصر المشيد منهم * والصامت البئر التي لا تنزف .

Muhammed bin Hasan bin Abi Khalid al-Ash’ari, nicknamed as Shanbula, said: An abandoned well and a high palace, an exquisite example of the Family of Muhammed, so, the speaking is the lofty palace, among them, and the silent is the well that does not bleed.
