 فشرف بالاشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا بدا بدا وياله من شراف عظيمي الآخر شيء is ويعتقد كمال أهلية ورجحانه على قبقة you also need to know that your teacher is more capable than all his peers that's what you need to believe as a teacher that my teacher is far greater than his peers that's what I believe that's what a student of knowledge should believe regardless of his teacher he shouldn't say oh teacher so and so I think he's better than you he should not say that but he should believe that the teacher he's taking from is greater than the rest the reason why because that's the closest from you to benefit from him if you believe in your heart there's somebody out there like I know he's better than my teacher are you going to benefit fully from your teacher no you're not but once you believe that your teacher is the one who knows it all he knows it better than his peers you're going to fully benefit from him and take what he has to offer all of this is for your own self it's for you to actually trust your teacher open up to your teacher some of those who came before us would offer something in charity on their way to their teachers look at the Salaf they used to go out before they come to the حلقة they would go on their way they would give charity on their way on behalf of their teacher and they would make this دعاء تصدق بشيء he would give something in charity before he comes to the gathering before he comes to gain knowledge from his teacher all the way to the class the student what he would do is he would pay he would give صدق on the way and he would say this دعاء what would he say and they would stop the page saying oh well do not disclose their shortcomings to me and do not take away the lessons of their knowledge from me this is what they would say لا بستر عيبا معاليبي عني ولا تذهب بركة علمه مني oh well cover from me veil from me the shortcomings and the mistakes of my teacher do not show that to me ولا تذهب بركة علمه مني and oh well do not take away from me the blessings of his knowledge that which he has do not take it away from me imagine the one who is going out of his way he is looking for his teacher's mistakes he is actually looking for his teacher's mistakes really let's verify that did he say that okay let's verify that everything that the teacher says you go out of your way you want to verify it about him about him so you can what so you can have something against him سالفوا هذي أمه they would ask Allah not to show him they would ask Allah to protect him from it they would turn a blind eye towards their teacher even if they saw something they would say I did not see it they did not want to know any of that imagine a lady in your own winch and goes out and even posts and tweets and comments the shortcomings of his teacher what do you imagine what do you imagine as I said before to you the one who is teaching you the person you are taking knowledge from is a person who is inherited whose position the prophet's position and this is the way you deal with a person who is inherited the prophet's the prophet's knowledge is this how you deal with a person who is sitting in the position of the message and I said this before to you that the scholar and the person of knowledge the thing that they inherit is not just knowledge they also inherit the respect that the prophet are given they inherit part of that the scholars and the people of knowledge and your teachers what they inherit as well is the respect that you would give to the prophet you give it to them as well تعظيم and I they gain that as well now ربيع the companion of here is الربيع ابن السليمان المرادي الربيع ابن السليمان المرادي هو الصاحب الشافعي يتمد الشافعي he was a student of the one who inherited the kitab of the Umm فمن مم الشافعي رحمهم الله تعالى he said الربيع ابن السليمان المرادي يتمد الشافعي he said the following may Allah have mercy on both of them one said I never had the courage to drink even a sip of water in the presence of Imam Shafi'a in veneration of him الله أكبر some narrations they mention ما تصفحت ورق I never turned over a page some other narrations mentioned that I never turned a page over in the presence of an Imam Shafi'a I never did that in veneration respect glorify honoring him رحمه الله تعالى I never and here he said I never drank a water in front of Imam Shafi'a ever then imagine a student that comes in front of his teacher kisses his teacher talks back at his teacher says to his teacher وعا really forget that questions his teacher's statements questions his teacher what's the validity of this خابة وخسر خابة وخسر that person has become destroyed في الدنيا ولااخرة he has و لذلك قد نقل it was transmitted it was transmitted from ألمام عليم بنبي طالب رضي الله عنه that he said من علمني حرفاً سرت له عبد and then he would reach a letter letter I will be enslaved for them meaning I will be enslaved to that person they will kind of own me now respect and honor نقل some scholars have done اعتراد of that statement they didn't accept it a slave here doesn't mean the slavery of Allah it means slave as in like the way you master tells his slave what to do my point here is that the status of the person who teaches you is something that has become very little in the eyes of students of knowledge they learn after their teacher and they genuinely think and a lot of the time if you look at them they still don't know more than their own teacher they still don't الله I was recently told one of the Mashayikh in Somalia some of his students graduated from Medina University they went and they graduated from Medina University and their teacher is one of the most most knowledgeable scholars in the country they went they came back and they resided in the same places of course and now what they're saying is that he doesn't know we know because they're graduates from the university of Medina so they open an institute right next to his one and they're teaching but الله الله I say by Allah's name he's still more knowledgeable than them even though they're still graduating that just shows you what our English can seat be full of yourself like these people are going to be the home of knowledge knowledge is going to be protected from it and I've seen genuinely speaking it was all honesty and when I say this this is not a consistent blame at everybody but generally speaking people who graduate from prestigious universities are the ones who are filled with arrogance صلاحة and if you look at a lot of them they have the least knowledge they have the least knowledge the ones who graduate from universities they have and they genuinely do have less knowledge then the ones who've what who studied the most the classic way they start with the بشايف and the علماء and took knowledge from them so humbleness is needed the person who taught you is always somebody you honor and you respect even if you differ with them or a مسألة you always respect them you always respect them the leader of the faithful Ili Ibn Ali Terbid may Allah be pleased with him said among the rights of the squalor above you the students is that upon coming to a lesson you should you should greet him everyone else in general you should sit in front of him and never point with your hand in this presence the author here now mentions Ili Ibn Ali the things that he said that the right of the scholar is here he means teacher of course is and to send him that the rest of the people you say generally but the teacher you don't do that he's not like the rest of the people you come and give them that's him okay وان تجلس أمامه as for the teacher you sit in front of him that's another one وَلَا تُشِيرَنْ عِنْدَكَ بِيَدِكَ don't point at him you don't do that yeah you must not wink at anyone or make similar gestures nor tell your teacher that such and such person has said something contrary to the teacher don't in the teacher's gathering وَلَا تَعْزَمِ زَنَّبِ عِنَيكِ and you don't wink like that in front of your teacher sometimes some people what we take that statement as well is laughing in front of your teacher he says something you find conferences that you go to the Mashaikh they make a joke and what do you find when the Mashaikh make a joke some people are laughing it's all Adam why are you laughing for it's bad manners it's truly bad manners when the Sheikh is talking when the Mashaikh come winking in front of the Sheikh he will think you're talking about him they think it's something that you said something he said you're laughing about you see it's not good don't say to your teacher someone so sick different to what you said you come to your teacher and you say oh you said that well another Sheikh I went to or another person I know said different to what you said don't say that to him don't oppose your teacher don't say Fulan opposes you in this don't say Alan opposes you in this don't say that to him now do you not backbite anyone in front of him don't backbite anyone in front of him don't say oh it's Fulan is this that's disrespecting him now don't consult with anyone else in this presence don't speak to other students and and you consult them and you take their advice on board when he's there no you don't do you do when you have water but the teacher is the water and the students are the when the teacher is absent within yourselves you can consult one another if the teacher is there then you take it from him why are you going to go to the students disrespecting him again do you not grab his garment when he stands up appealing for him to wait some people they grab the teacher can I talk to you or disrespectfully put their hand on your shoulder grabbing you from the shoulder you don't touch the teacher you never ever touch you never place a finger on the teacher who gave you the rights to touch your teacher you touch him put his hand on you grab you by the shoulder put his hand on your your head to the teacher all of those are one brother told me one time شعب درشيل علي سوفي came and one of the kids what he did was he wanted to do a picture with the sheikh and what he did was he grabbed him by the shoulder like a friend just like a friend he put his hand over the sheikh and he said sheikh come close let's take the picture هؤلاء يضرب بالجريد والنعب those people should get beaten with yeah they should get laughed سوء الأدبلي who gave you the rights to put your hand on the sheikh all of these are bad manners that you see manifest in many of us we don't tend to see the seriousness of it you see don't grab his garment you should you should insist that he teaches if he becomes tired you see the teacher sleeping he's tired he's finished he's taught you as much as he could don't persist on him after you saw his tired this is disrespecting him again if he does اعدار and says I can't do it like that don't push him to it if he says I don't want to do that what about this what about this it's annoying don't do that if he becomes lazy and tired from doing something do not do إلحاح إلحاح means you persistently go on to him too much down and do you not allow yourself to grow tired or bored of his continued don't say to a teacher I can't hang around with him I can't be bothered I don't want to لا do not give up on that ولا تعلن never tell away from from your teacher من طول صحبتي the lengthy companionship of his لذلك it's one of the reasons no chef he mentions أخي لان تلال العلم إلا بسيتة سأوم بك عن تفصيلها ببياني my brother you're not going to attain knowledge unless you take six steps and from them is صحبة أستاذ وطول زمان صحبة أستاذ for the companionship of a teacher so he never gets tired of that إلا تشبع never get tired of it and say oh I saw him yesterday I don't want to say today no worries I'm not going to meet him don't never get tired of his companionship all of these are respect of the student towards the teacher No A student should indeed strive to adorn himself with the qualities pointed out by عادي عبeee أنا شعوره may Allah be pleased with him he should defend his teacher upon hearing others و لو كان يستطيع أن يكون ذلك ، يجب أن يكون لتواجه في مكان التنظيم يجب أن يأتي إلى شخصه ، و يبقى كل أعلى قواته و as well as the qualities referred to with regards to the teacher in the previous segment يجب أن يكون في سطة ربشوالة تحديد من المستوى و يجب أن يكون لديه حالة بكل ما يرامله هل الوثى رحم الله يمكّذ و يبقى أن يتقدم بهذه الشصال التي أرشدها؟ أرشد إليها عليهم كل من هؤلاء المشاهدات التي نتكلم عنها وعالي ستبقى مجموعة من العلم يجب أن يأتي مع هذه الستابعات من عالي من أبيع طالق يجب أن يدعوه معه يجب أن يأتي مع هذه المشاهدات مجموعة أخرى هو أن يرد غيبة الشيخين قدر وإذا كانت تساعدتك في مجموعة مجموعة يجب أن تدفعه ويدفع المشاهدات التي أقوم بها هذا حقه لك هذا هو الحق الذي يجب عليك إذا كان يجب أن يتكلم عنه إذا كان يتكلم عنه always dare to defend him never will I take that from you No, my teacher is not that I don't accept that وعي رد غيبة الشيخين قدر نعم وردارك اللي براسة السلامي يقول من دبه عم عربي أخي anyone who defects the honor of his brother or sister الله will defend your honor the day of judgment your honor will be defended and it will be protected the day of judgment That's just a normal Muslim person فمبالك would you then think the person who has Minnah on you after your parents when did your parents give you brothers and sisters the scholars they say that the teacher is of the manzilla of your parents you know why the reason is because your parents gave you the worldly life and this one gave you the hereafter life you're living in this world because of your parents bringing you to this world you live you breathe because of them but the revelation is a soul it's a life he gave you the other life so he has a Minnah that you don't ever forget a rights that he has on you that you consistently remember so whenever you're in a gathering a person who favored you a person who honored you how dare does somebody back by you back by him in front of you and you're silent about it or even you're in consent with it or even you propagate it or even you bring it out خاب وخسر if you're not able to speak to these people because they're ignorant so much and they're stubborn and they're stubborn and they're arrogant and hard headed then just what did he say فار قداني كلمجرس say I'm not going to say he's gathering anymore you guys are backbiting my teacher I'm going to leave the gathering I'm not going to as they say I'm not going to entertain in any way for more shape this kind of gathering I am not okay it's hypocrisy that yesterday you were backbiting your teacher and then tomorrow you want to come to his gathering you want to take knowledge from him that is what? hypocrisy and remember what you do is what you will get them in this world صح الجزاء من جنس العمل this same person who's got the audacity to talk to you about your teacher remember they are doing the same about you not very far when they do that they will be doing the same very soon to you as well so you're only benefitting yourself in this regard then the اوطرحمة الله he talks about اداب the etiquettes of entering into the gathering of knowledge he said when you come to your teacher in his gatherings you come to him in that gathering with complete characteristics متنظيفا كما ذكرنا في المعلم just like we mentioned for the teacher you come clean pure no dirty socks smelling socks the whole mosque is what is this اعوذ بالله you don't come to the حلقة or the circle with your breath smelling kicking use call game aquafresh macleeds there's different varieties use them tic tac do something smell nice when you come to the gathering don't your clothing when the teacher comes to you you smell nice so when he comes close to you you ask him a question sometimes some students they'll come up to you and their breath is not smelling nice it's very and he says I have four questions they're like no I just have one just ask one question even that one question he wanted it to be so fast if he asks you you say quickly it's not permissible you can't that is harmful for the teacher it's disrespectful to the teacher because that same person if he was going to go to a wedding what would he have done you see so that's all disrespect your teacher you're not giving him the right that he deserves if you were going to an amazing place if you were going to a you dress up trust me everybody has one a moment where they dress up this is something that they need to do when they come to the teacher's gathering مططحيرا مستعمل للسواك use your سواك here toothbrush is enough سواك is a سنة though فاردن قلب من الأمور الشغلة cleanse your heart just like for the T-Shake also the student when you come into the gathering get clothes of everything else come to the gathering open minded you're not going to engage in anything else وَأَلَّا يَتْخُلَ بِغَيْسْتِ إِدَانِنْ don't just come walking into the teacher's room knock the door so you can come in that's what he says وَأَلَّا يُسَلَّمْ عَلَا الْحَاضِينَ إِذَا دَقَلَ وَيَخُوْصَّهُ also when you do come in you don't give salam to everybody disrespect you come in you give salam to everyone hey you're late sit down some people come in and when they come in they want to be know that they walked in they just have that persona where they want people to realize their entrance you're late there's nothing to show off by this when you come in you specify the salam with the teacher when you sit down when he leaves the gathering what do you do you give salams to the teacher specifically and the rest of the people you say سلام عليكم and you walk away he should also give salam for leaving the gathering and this is referred to in the Hadith the first salam is none the more worthy of being given than the last so the person when he leaves the gathering he should also do the leaving one because the Hadith of Prophet ﷺ which is that the first salams are not for your second salams in other words both of them are as important as each other he says سلام عليكم when you come in and he says سلام عليكم when you leave he should not walk over others in order to sit at the front instead he should sit at the last row or house circle unless the sheikh tells him to come forward or if he knows that the students normally give him preference over themselves if the student comes late then he has no rights break the people's necks walks in and he wants to take the first spot like he's that shouldn't be the case rather he sits where he finds the space that's where he sits except though if the teacher says to him come forward إلا أي أقدر if the teacher says to come next to me you specifically come sit here because the teacher for some reason wants him to be here but if he knows that the student always leave a spot for him and that's always the case then that's not an issue he can now he should not ask anyone to give up his place for him and if someone wants to give him preference over himself in this regard he should not accept that as this was was the example set by إله إي الله بيز with him also the author who he mentions is he shouldn't tell somebody to get up for me I really want you to get up for me from this particular place that you're at no don't okay he comes and says oh yesterday I was sitting here so please can you get up he can't if this person sees you and then some half feels like I'll get up for you then he shouldn't accept it he said this is in accordance to and this was an example which he set and this example is found in تير ميدين أحمد it is Muslim based on the hadith of the prophet عليه السلام where he said لا يقيموا أحاديكم أخاهم في المجلسة تما يجلس فيه that one of you should not make your brother or your sister stand up for you in a seat get up for me this is my way get up he should not do that and then when he pushes takes him away he sits in that spot he should not do that then سالي مولا بن عمر and he said فكان الرجل يقوموا لبن عمر فلا يجلس فيه عبد الله بن عمر sometimes he used to come and people would see him because this is بن عمر will not tell them to get up for him they would just see him from far and they would get up for him عبد الله بن عمر will not sit and he will not take it and he will walk away from it however if there is benefit to this or if the teacher orders this then this is acceptable that a seizure give up this place to someone else إلا أن يقول في تقدمه مصلحة للحاضرين the author here now talks about if this particular individual if this particular individual him coming forward there is a great benefit in it أو أمره الشيخ بذلك or if the teacher commands him to do so ولا يجلس وصط الحلقة إلا لضروة he should never sit in the middle of this gathering unless there is a necessity for that he should not sit in the midst of a circle unless this is necessary and should not sit between two companions without their permission if however they make room for him he should sit down between them and fold his legs as to not take up too much space now if you come you see two people that are together don't sit in the middle of them ولا يجلس بيلة صاحبين إلا بإذنهما you should never sit in between two individuals except with their permission فإن فسح لحو if they choose to give you space قعد that you can sit وضم انفسه and then even then you tuck yourself in you let yourself out and just relax and you spread yourself out you keep yourself old keep yourself old yourself yourself together that being known that two people are together when you do cause that to them it causes enmity and hate in the gathering okay so you don't want to have that in the gathering he should behave well with his peers as well as others attending the assembling as this is considering respect for the teacher and concerning order in his class he should sit before the sheikh in the class he should sit before the sheikh in the manner of the student and not that and not that of the teacher and speak in a lower voice unless it is necessary that he raises voice he should not fidget with his hands or anything else and he should not look around without due reason rather he should turn himself towards the sheikh with full attention the author here تكسب في أدام الطالب العلم معرفقائه when it comes to your friends and your colleagues the author here says و ينبغ أيضر يتأدب معرفقته يجب أن تكون جيدا مع your colleagues and those who are present in the gathering of the sheikh because having good manners with your colleagues and having good manners with those you're sitting in the gathering with is actually good manners with your teacher and it's respecting his gathering و يقعد بين يدي الشيخ قعدة المتعلمين and the student sits in front of the teacher the sit of a student of knowledge and he doesn't sit like a teacher you don't sit as a teacher in the sense where you are the individual who sits the highest and you و ذلك ألمام النسائي his teacher أحمد بل صالح I read he kicked him ألمام النسائي out of the gathering I kicked him out أحمد بل صالح kicked him out and misily the reason why he kicked him out was because the sai was a man who used to love to dress and used to dress very well and used to look very profound in his gathering so I told him get out of my gathering and never want to see you here again and school something must have triggered that off the teacher told him leave so النسائي was kicked out of that gathering so he used to go behind the wall and used to learn from there he never stopped learning but ألمام النسائي because of something that was in his heart towards أحمد بل صالح any reason he could find the critique he wanted to but then he found something on another أحمد بل صالح who was not أحمد بل صالح his teacher it was another one because something was in his heart he didn't verify which of the two it was so he jumped the gun and he criticized and critiqued أحمد بل صالح this is something that entered النسائي's heart towards his teacher the point here though is that the student sits in the gathering with humility, humbleness dresses and acts like a student if his sheikh for example wears a bisht those things that Saudi wear Saudi that thing that they wear you see that big thing over the شباق you guys know it right that big thing that they wear on top of the thob that is genuinely war by the scholars and the leaders of the country that students of knowledge don't wear that so for a student of knowledge to wear that in the حلق of the sheikh is something bad that's worn by the sheikh by a load he wears that so within the custom if there's something like that within the custom we don't have something like that do we something that's unique for the teacher do we a chair a chair okay that's good chair on the table is the teacher generally students should all sit on the floor then but is there something wary that we think that's only for the sheikh no one else wears it some places in the imam some places in the imam the imam the imam so صح the imam and the shemaq things like that in the Arabic language the word imam they use it as a turban a turban is the imam of them this is called the shemaq the one that you like the shemaq and the bish that they wear on top of it that thing they wear on it that is genuinely for the scholars that's generally for who the scholars so when you see somebody wearing that in Saudi Arabia in the Kaaba I remember what it was in my life I got it from a shop so I just wanted to check it out so I went to the Haram with it just checking it out if I look all good in it and then they kept coming up to me they asked me questions in the Kaaba people started coming up to me asking me questions you know I did this in the Haram what do you think is the jair is it I followed that up quick everything I put it in my because they come up to you thinking you're a scholar and they start asking you questions it was good though like in that when I wore that they thought I was the guard of the Kaaba you see so I could go into places where other people I don't turn got got that way I was relaxing with the that in the Haram not with them but I could I could do things I could get away with things that normal people could so just giving you guys a tip if you guys want to do that on board so the author here sorry I never finished the point he says don't raise your voice in front of your teacher ever shout loud say something loud never don't ever do that okay don't laugh in your teacher's gathering ولا يضحك ولا يكثروا كلام من غير حاجة don't even increase in speech okay without no need so if he says something for example you want to ask a question some people love to go in with their question just ask the question with the most summarized speech some people say okay then I'll start from the beginning I'll start from the beginning basic what it was is on the 12th 19 and they go in and they run you for a background check the teacher does not care of all of that just ask the question that but because the teacher was told before have been tied to a student don't cut them off so he's just going to have to listen 20 minutes okay so he's just going to listen to all of that in reality that's incorrect the student fast so basically my question is what is the rule regarding CFS and the teacher he answers the question so the student doesn't go off topic and speak too much he also doesn't play with his fingers and he doesn't play with any of that also when you're starting with your teacher this thing that people keep doing this all the time looking right left turning away your vision from the teacher is also bad manners consistently look at him when you're noting something down look at him right and left you only look at at times of necessity only times of necessity when he then he was narrated from Heisham Ibn Ammar he came to Imam Malik رحمه الله he came to Imam Malik and in the city of Medina an elephant came you know the Arabs have never seen elephants Indians you guys have seen it right yeah you guys got elephants some people have never ever in their life seen an elephant have I ever seen an elephant yeah when I was a kid I went to the London Zoo they've got it there yeah that's what I'm sorry yeah I was going to cry so in the Arab world there's no such thing as an elephant the animals never been seen before of course Abraha came to destroy the Kaaba with it but majority of them don't know how elephant looks like so in Imam Malik's time an elephant came so they all ran to it they wanted to see this animal they arrived and then they ran Heisham Ibn Ammar stayed with Imam Malik he didn't even look back he just stayed consistent look at Imam Malik and seen with him Imam Malik said to him why don't you go people are running he said I didn't leave my family because of that I never left my land to see elephants came to take knowledge from you he preferred looking at Imam Malik and looking at Imam Malik the way he carries himself and the way Imam Malik is then to see an animal he's never seen what will that do to a teacher when he sees that from you that nabaah he's going to open knowledge up for you he's going to be how serious you are and he's going to give you a lot صحيخ he will ولا يلتفت يبيني ولا شي مانين يغاني حاجة بل يكونوا متوجيحة للشيخ مصغيان إلى كلامي even if your teacher tells you something you've already heard of sometimes the teacher might repeat the same point again and again okay he might tell you the same story he might even crack the same joke صح you laugh like it was the first time okay you know your parents sometimes they tell you the same joke all the time and they tell you the same story all the time well you pretend like it was the first time really 112 who goes through that sees their parents telling the same story all the time yeah who feels that that happens sometimes to them yeah you guys don't you feel ربائي محمد محمد محمس who else we generally all go the manners of the son is that he pretends that this is the first time that he's heard the story he goes that's it like it's fascinated with the story even if you feel bored صح you listen all the time that's the same with the teacher when he tells you something you've heard of before you just listen to it as though it's the first time it's the first time ناني أوتكوز انت شعبتا في اختيار أخضى الأوقات الشيخ وفي الصبر على العلم ومن ما يتأكد لعتناء به أن لا يقرع على الشيخ في حال شغل قلب الشيخ وملله وستيفازه وغمه وفرحه وجوعه وعطشه ونعاسه وقلقه ونحو ذلك من ما يشق عليه أو يمنعه من كمال حضور القلب ومنشاط وأي يغتلم أوقاتا أوقات نشاط
