1351. HONOURING THE SCHOLAR

4518.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : مَنِ استَقبَلَ العُلَماءَ فقَدِ استَقبَلَني ، ومَن زارَ العُلَماءَ فقَد زارَني ، ومَن جالَسَ العُلَماءَ فقَد جالَسَني ، ومَن جالَسَني فَكأنَّما جالَسَ رَبّي .1

4518.The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘He who goes forth to meet the scholars has indeed come forth to meet me, and he who visits the scholars has indeed visited me, and he who sits in the company of the scholars has indeed sat in my company, and whoever sits in my company is as if he has sat in the company of my Lord.’2

4519.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : إذا رَأيتَ عالِماً فَكُن لَهُ خادِماً .3

4519.Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘When you see a scholar, be a servant to him.’4

1350. THE RIGHTS OF THE TEACHER TO BE OBSERVED BY THE STUDENT

4514.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله: ثَلاثَةٌ لا يَستَخِفُّ بِحَقِّهِم إلّا مُنافِقٌ : ذو شَيبَةٍ فِي الإسلامِ ، وإمامٌ مُقسِطٌ ، ومُعَلِّمُ الخَيرِ .1

4514.The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘There are three types of people whose right none will deem lightly apart from the hypocrite whose hypocrisy is obvious: the old person in Islam, the just leader, and the teacher of good.’2

4515.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : مِن حَقِّ العالِمِ عَلَيكَ أن تُسَلِّمَ عَلَى القَومِ عامَّةً وتَخُصَّهُ دونَهُم بِالتَّحِيَّةِ ، وأن تَجلِسَ أمامَهُ ، ولا تُشيرَنَّ عِندَهُ بِيَدِكَ ، ولا تَغمِزَنَّ بِعَينَيكَ ، ولا تَقولَنَّ : «قالَ فُلانٌ» خِلافاً لِقَولِهِ ، ولا تَغتابَنَّ عِندَهُ أحَداً ، ولا تُسارَّ في مَجلِسِهِ ، ولا تَأخُذَ بِثَوبِهِ ، ولا تَلِجَ‏3 عَلَيهِ إذا مَلَّ ، ولا تُعرِضَ مِن طُولِ صُحبَتِهِ ، فإنَّما هِيَ بِمَنزِلَةِ النَّخلَةِ تَنتَظِرُ مَتى‏ يَسقُطُ عَلَيكَ مِنها شَي‏ءٌ .4

4515.Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘It is a scholar’s right upon you that you greet people in general as a whole but single him out with your greeting, that you sit in front of him, that you do not point to him with your hand, nor make hints against him with your eyes, nor say, ‘but x said’ in opposition to his statements, nor backbite anyone in his presence, nor whisper secrets to others in his gathering, nor pull on his robe, nor insist for him to continue if he is tired, nor show disinclination at the length of his speech, for verily it [i.e. his speech] is as a palm tree from which you [should] anxiously wait for something to fall from it for you.’5

4516.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : لَيسَ مِن أخلاقِ المُؤمِنِ التَّمَلُّقُ وَلا الحَسَدُ إلّا في طَلَبِ العِلمِ .6

4516.Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘It is not part of the moral virtues of a believer that he should flatter or be jealous except in the quest for knowledge.’7

4517.الإمامُ زينُ العابدينَ عليه السلام : حَقُّ سائسِكَ بِالعِلمِ : التَّعظيمُ لَهُ ، والتَّوقيرُ لِمَجلِسِهِ ، وحُسنُ الاستِماعِ إلَيهِ ، والإقبالُ عَلَيهِ ، وأن لا تَرفَعَ عَلَيهِ صَوتَكَ ، وأن لا تُجيبَ أحَداً يَسألُهُ عَن شَي‏ءٍ حَتّى‏ يَكونَ هُوَ الّذي يُجيبُ ، ولا تُحَدِّثَ في مَجلسِهِ أحَداً ، ولا تَغتابَ عِندَهُ أحَداً ، وأن تَدفَعَ عَنهُ إذا ذُكِرَ عِندَكَ بِسُوءٍ ، وأن تَستُرَ عُيوبَهُ ، وتُظهِرَ مَناقِبَهُ ، ولا تُجالِسَ لَهُ عَدُوّاً ، ولا تُعادِيَ لَهُ وَلِيّاً ، فإذا فَعَلتَ ذلكَ شَهِدَ لَكَ مَلائكَةُ اللَّهِ بِأنَّكَ قَصَدتَهُ وتَعَلَّمتَ عِلْمَهُ للَّهِ‏ِ جَلَّ اسمُهُ لا لِلنّاسِ .8

4517. Imam Zayn al-Abidin (AS) said, ‘The right of the one who trains you in knowledge is to magnify him, to revere his sessions, to listen to him attentively, and to pay attention to him with devotion. You should not raise your voice to him, nor answer a question that someone has asked him about something, so that he will be the one to answer. You should not address anyone else in his session, nor backbite anyone in his presence. You must defend him if anyone ever speaks ill of him in your presence, conceal his faults and publicise his virtues. You should not sit in the company of his enemy, nor be hostile towards his friend. If you fulfil this right, Allah’s angels bear witness that you frequented him and learned from his knowledge for the sake of Allah, exalted be His Name, and not for the sake of people.’9
