A Pearl of Wisdom from Qatādah

Qatādah once said:
ما سمعت شيئا إلا حفظته ولا حفظت شيئا فنسيته
“I did not hear anything except for that I memorized it. And I did not memorize anything that I forgot thereafter.”
After Qatādah said this, he turned to his servant and said:
هات نعلي
“Bring my sandals?”
His servant replied:
هما في رجليك
“You are wearing them.”
