Khalifahklothing - Rights of the Scholars - Abu Suhaib

Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said, "The virtue of the scholar to a worshipper (Aabid) is similar to the virtue of the moon when it is full to the rest of the stars. And verily the scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets. Verily the Prophets did not leave behind dirhams and deenars, but rather they left behind knowledge. Thus whoever takes it, takes it as a bountiful share." -- Authentic, narrated by Abu Dawood, tirmidhi, and Ibn Majah.Allah - the Most High - said:"Say: Are they equal, those who have knowledge and those who do not? But only the men of understanding will take admonition."[Soorah Zumar 39:9]."Allah will raise up in degrees those of you who believe and those who have been granted knowledge."[Soorah al-Mujaadalah 58:11]."It is only those who possess knowledge amongst His slaves that fear Allah" [Soorah Faatir 35:28]. "Indeed those who believe and do righteous actions, they are the best of creatures ... This is for those who fear their Lord." [Soorah al-Bayyinah 98:7-8].Ibn Jamaa'ah, rahimahullaah, said:"So Allah decreed in these two Verses that the scholars are those who most fear Allah, and that those who fear Allah are the best of creatures. The consequence of this is that the scholars are therefore the best of creatures."The Prophet sallallahu 'alalyhi wa sallam said:"The superiority of the scholar over the worshipper is like that of the full moon on a clear night over the rest of the stars. Indeed the scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets and the Prophets do not leave behind them the deenaar nor the dirham as inheritance, they leave only knowledge behind as inheritance. So whosoever aquires it, aquires a huge fortune."Al-Hâfidh Ibn 'Asâkir (d.571H) - rahimahullâh - said"Know, O my brother - may Allah awaken you and I to His pleasure and make us of those who have deep fear and piety in Him as we should have - that the flesh of the Scholars is poisonous. It is well known that Allâh will expose those who seek to revile and belittle them and that whosoever lets loose his tongue by insulting and belittling the Scholars, then Allâh will cause his heart to die before he actually dies."[Tabyînu Kadhabul-Muftarî (p.29]._____________________BD5 Masjid presents a four part lecture series, covering the rights in Islam.1.
