2713. Jābir narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When one of you writes something, then let him Yutarrib it, for that is more conducive to the need." (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Munkar, we do not know of it to be from Abū Az-Zubair except through this route. [He said:] To me, Ḥamzah is Ibn 'Amr An-Nuṣaibī (a narrator in the chain), and he is weak in Hadīth.
٢٧١٣ - حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا كَتَبَ أَحَدُكُمْ كِتَابًا فَلْيُتَرِّبْهُ،» فَإِنَّهُ أَنْجَحُ لِلْحَاجَةِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ مُنْكَرٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ. وَحَمْزَةُ هُوَ عِنْدِي ابْنُ عَمْرٍو النَّصِيبِيُّ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ فِي الْحَدِيثِ.

The purpose is that the letter should be smeared with dust to dry the ink after having been written, lest the words should get effaced by folding or rolling and reading it will be hard. If the reading of a letter is impossible, how can it then be replied to?
