Hadiths Of

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

وقال عليه السلام لجابر بن عبدالله الاَنصاري: يَا جَابِرُ، قِوَامُ الدِّينِ وَ الدُّنْيَا بِأَرْبَعَةٍ: عَالِمٍ مُسْتَعْمِلٍ عِلْمَهُ، وَجَاهِلٍ لاَ يَسْتَنْكِفُ أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمَ، وَجَوَادٍ لاَ يَبْخَلُ بِمَعْرُوفِهِ، وَفَقِيرٍ لاَ يَبِيعُ آخِرَتَهُ بِدُنْيَاهُ؛ فَإِذَا ضَيَّعَ الْعَالِمُ عِلْمَهُ اسْتَنْكَفَ الْجَاهِلُ أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمَ، وَإِذَا بَخِلَ الْغَنِيُّ بِمَعْرُوفِهِ بَاعَ الْفَقِيرُ آخِرَتَهُ بِدُنْيَاهُ

Imam Ali (as):

Imam Ali (AS) said to Jabir ibn 'Abdullah al-Ansari': O Jabir, the mainstay of religion and the world are four persons: The scholar who acts on his knowledge; the ignorant who does not refrains from learning; the generous who is not niggardly in his favors; and the destitute who does not sell his next life for his worldly benefits. Consequently, when the scholar wastes his knowledge [and does not act upon it], the ignorant refrains from learning, and when the generous is niggardly with his favors, the destitute sells his next life for worldly benefits. "

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

اطْلُبُوا الْعِلْمَ وَ تَزَيَّنُوا مَعَهُ بِالْحِلْمِ وَ الْوَقَارِ وَ تَوَاضَعُوا لِمَنْ تُعَلِّمُونَهُ الْعِلْمَ وَ تَوَاضَعُوا لِمَنْ طَلَبْتُمْ مِنْهُ الْعِلْمَ وَ لَا تَكُونُوا عُلَمَاءَ جَبَّارِينَ فَيَذْهَبَ بَاطِلُكُمْ بِحَقِّكُمْ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Seek knowledge and along with it, adorn yourself with clemency and solemnity, be humble towards the one whom you teach as well as the one from whom you seek knowledge and do not be among tyrant scholars lest your evil deeds nullify your good deeds.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

ُ يَا طَالِبَ الْعِلْمِ إِنَّ لِلْعَالِمِ ثَلَاثَ عَلَامَاتٍ الْعِلْمَ وَ الْحِلْمَ وَ الصَّمْتَ وَ لِلْمُتَكَلِّفِ ثَلَاثَ عَلَامَاتٍ يُنَازِعُ مَنْ فَوْقَهُ بِالْمَعْصِيَةِ وَ يَظْلِمُ مَنْ دُونَهُ بِالْغَلَبَةِ وَ يُظَاهِرُ الظَّلَمَةَ.

Imam Ali (as):

O seeker of knowledge! Verily the scholar has three signs: Knowledge, clemency, and silence. And an ignorant man who feigns knowledge has three signs: he quarrels with his superior by disobeying him, wrongs his subordinates by trying to dominate them and supports the oppressors.

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

مِنَ الْعُلَمَاءِ مَنْ يَرَى أَنْ يَضَعَ الْعِلْمَ عِنْدَ ذَوِي الثَّرْوَةِ وَ الشَّرَفِ وَ لَا يَرَى لَهُ فِي الْمَسَاكِينِ وَضْعاً فَذَاكَ فِي الدَّرْكِ الثَّالِثِ مِنَ النَّار.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Some scholars believe that they should teach knowledge only to those who possess wealth and honour, deeming it as having no place among the destitute; such scholars will dwell in the third stage of the Fire.
