Allâhumma lâ sahla illâ mâ ja‘altahu sahlâ wa anta taj‘alu al-hazana idhâ shi’ta
sahlâ.
Imam Sadiq (as) said, "Your teacher has the right over you that you
should honor him and pay him respect in different assemblies. You should be very
attentive to his words. you should not raise your voice above his. if anybody asks
him a question, you should not give its reply. You should not converse with others
in his presence and you should allow the people to benefit from his knowledge. You
should not speak ill of anyone before him. If anybody speaks ill of him in your
presence, you should defend him. You should conceal his shortcomings and bring
his virtues to light. You should not associate with his enemies and should not
dispute with his friends. If you act on these lines the angels of Allah will testify that
you have paid attention to him and have acquired knowledge for the sake of Allah
and not to attract the attention of the people.
And the right of your pupils on you is that you should realize that in granting you
knowledge and opening its path to you, Allah has appointed you to be their
guardian. In case, therefore, you teach them properly and do not frighten them
and are not furious with them, Allah will, through His kindness, increase your
knowledge. But if you drive the people away from knowledge and, as and when
they approach you for it, you frighten them and get annoyed with them, it will only
be appropriate that the Almighty Allah may take away the light of knowledge from
you and may degrade you in the eyes of the people."
The Messenger of God said:"A loving glance at the face of a learned [`alim] is
an act of worship [ibada]." He also said: "Sitting with the people of learning is an
honor in this life and the hereafter."
Abu Ja'far said,"Whoever taught the path to guidance will have as much reward
as those who acted upon it, without in any way decreasing the reward of the latter.
Whoever taught the path to wrongdoing will have as much punishment as those
who acted upon such teachings without in any way decreasing the punishment of
the latter."
The Holy Prophet [s] said: "Teachers and students both share in rewards but other
people are deprived of them." Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 2, p. 25
The Holy Prophet [s] said: "He who propagates religious affairs without having
required competency does a disservice to the religion rather than serving it."Bihar-
ul-Anwar, vol. 2, p.121
Imam Amir ul Mu'mineen Ali [a] said: "The worth of every man is in his
attainments."Nahjul-Balagha, saying No. 482
Note: The real value of a person is his knowledge (and the perfection of his
attainments). His worth and position would be in accordance with the status of
knowledge and attainment he holds. Eyes that are conscious of real values do not
look at the face, features, tallness of stature, size or worldly pomp and position but
look at the attainments of a person and assess his worth according to these
attainments. The conclusion is that a man should strive to acquire distinction and
knowledge.
The worth of every person is according to the extent of his knowledge.Ghurar-ul-
Hikam, p. 341
The Holy Prophet [s] said: " Knowledge is Allah's deposit on the earth and scholars
are His trustees of it. Therefore, he who acts according to his knowledge, has really
delivered His deposit...."Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 2, p. 36
