[12] And He, His glory is mighty, said: "The most excellent of things is knowledge, and Allah the Exalted is a Knower, He loves every scholar."

[13] And He, His glory is mighty, said: "Would that I knew, what thing has he missed who attained knowledge, and what thing has he attained who missed knowledge."

[14] And He, His glory is mighty, said: "From the right of the scholar upon the learner is that he does not multiply the questioning upon him, and does not cause him distress in the answer, and does not persist upon him if he becomes weary, and does not disclose for him a secret, and does not backbite anyone in his presence, and does not seek his companionship, so if he slips, you await his return and accept his excuse, and that you magnify him and revere him as long as he guarded the command of Allah and magnified it, and that you do not sit in front of him, and if there is for him a need, you precede other than you to his service in it, and you must not grow weary of his companionship, for he is only in the position of the palm tree, it is watched when there falls upon you from it a benefit,
