The Man Who Circled the Kaaba with a Knife and a Mouse
Knowledge should be learned directly from qualified scholars; otherwise, one may fall into serious mistakes!  Huh

It is narrated that a man was once seen circumambulating the Kaaba while carrying a knife and a mouse. When people asked him why, he replied, "That's what I read in one of the books."

When the book was brought and checked, it became clear that he had misread the text. The original wording was:

"One should circumambulate with tranquility and dignity."

In Arabic, he mistakenly read sakīnah ("tranquility") as sikkīn ("knife"), and waqār ("dignity") as fa'r ("mouse"), turning a serious instruction into a comical misunderstanding.
