[26] And from the book of Al-Talaqani it is narrated: "Indeed the hearts are dust, and the sciences are their planting, and the remembrance is their water, so love the fruits of your hearts by the good remembrance."

[27] And He, His glory is mighty, said: "A little of knowledge and jurisprudence is better than a lot of worship."

[28] And our Master, the Commander of the Faithful, His glory is mighty, said: "gnosis is the most excellent of treasures and the most beautiful of them, light of burden, great of benefit, in the gathering a beauty, and in solitude a companion.

[29] And He, His glory is mighty, said: "Do not speak of knowledge to the foolish lest they belie you, nor to the ignorant lest they seek your formal legal opinion, but speak of it to whoever receives it from its people with acceptance and understanding, who understands from you what you say and conceals for you what he hears, for indeed for your knowledge upon you is a right just as indeed upon you in your wealth is a right: its spending to its deserving and its withholding from other than its deserving."
