16-1 Abul Qasim al-Hassan ibn Muhammad ibn Sa’id al-Hashemi al-Kufy in the Kufa Mosque narrated that Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Qat’tani quoted Ja’far ibn Muhammad ibn Hisham al-Warraq, on the authority of thejurisprudent - Ali ibn Muhammad al-Sadoosi, on the authority of Al-Hussein ibn Alvan, on the authority of Abdullah ibn al-Hassan ibn al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib, on the authority of his father, on the authority of his grandfather, on the authority of Ali ibn Abi Talib (MGB), “The rights of a scholar include the following: You should not ask him too many questions. You should not rush to answer questions before he does. You should not insist when he doesn’t want to respond. You should not be pushy with him (pull on his clothes) when he gets tired. You should not point at him with your fingers. You should not wink at him. You should not whisper in someone’s ears in his class. You should not seek his faults. You should not talk too much or argue with him saying that others have said things opposite to his views. You should not divulge his secrets. You should not gossip about anyone in front of him. You should support him both in his presence and in his absence. When you go to see him with some people present there, you should greet all of them and express especial greetings for him. You should sit in front of him. You should rush to supersede others in fulfilling his needs whenever he needs something. Do not get upset if you have to wait a while to talk with him, since his case is similar to the case of a palm tree. That is, you have to wait for a while before you can get some dates. A scholar is just like one who fasts, stays up at night and strives in the way of God. Once a scholar dies it causes a gap in Islam which can never be filled up until the Resurrection Day. In fact, there are seventy-thousand special heavenly angels appointed to follow those who seek knowledge.
IsnādAbu Al-Qasim Al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn Sa'id Al-Hashimi Al-Kufi a rapporté dans sa mosquée à Kufa, il a dit: Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Al-Qatafani nous a informés, il a dit: Ja'far ibn Muhammad ibn Hisham Al-Waraq nous a dit, il a dit: Ali ibn Muhammad Al-Sudusi Al-Faqih nous a informés, il a dit: Al-Hussein ibn Alwan, de la part d'Abdullah ibn Al-Hasan ibn Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib, de son père, de son grand-père, de Ali ibn Abi Talib, que la paix soit sur eux, a dit:
Il est du droit de l'érudit que les questions ne lui soient pas posées en abondance, qu'on ne le devance pas dans ses réponses, qu'on ne l'insiste pas s'il se détourne, qu'on ne tire pas sur son vêtement s'il est négligent, qu'on ne pointe pas vers lui de la main, qu'on ne le cligne pas de l'œil, qu'on ne se place pas au-dessus de lui dans un rassemblement, qu'on ne cherche pas à découvrir ses défauts, qu'on ne dise pas "untel a dit" en contradiction avec ce qu'il a dit, qu'on ne divulgue pas ses secrets, qu'on ne calomnie personne en sa présence, qu'on garde pour lui des témoignages en sa faveur en public et en privé, qu'on salue tout le monde et qu'on le distingue par une salutation particulière, qu'on s'assoie devant lui, et si jamais il a besoin d'aide, devancez les autres pour le servir, et ne te lasse pas de sa compagnie car il est comme le palmier, attends patiemment qu'il te fasse profiter de ses bienfaits. L'érudit est comparable au jeûneur qui prie et combat dans le sentier d'Allah, et lorsque l'érudit meurt, une brèche se forme dans l'islam qui ne se refermera pas jusqu'au Jour de la Résurrection, et le chercheur de connaissance est entouré de soixante-dix mille anges depuis le ciel le plus bas.
