الْعَالِمُ كُلُّ الْعَالِمِ مَنْ لَمْ يَمْنَعِ الْعِبَادَ الرَّجَاءَ لِرَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ وَلَمْ يُؤْمِنْهُمْ مَكْرَ اللَّهِ
The scholar who is truly a scholar, is one who does not prevent the servants from having hope in the mercy of Allah and [at the same time] does not give them false security from the scheme of Allah

إِنَّمَا الْعَالِمُ مَنْ دَعَاهُ عِلْمُهُ إِلَى الْوَرَعِ وَالتُّقَى وَالزُّهْدِ فِي عَالَمِ الْفَنَاءِ وَالتَّوَلُّهِ بِجَنَّةِ الْمَأْوَى
Only he is a scholar whose knowledge calls him to piety and God-wariness, to abstinence from the pleasures of the transient world and to infatuation with the heavenly abode

إِذَا كُنْتَ جَاهِلًا فَتَعَلَّمْ وَإِذَا سَأَلْتَ عَمَّا لَا تَعْلَمُ فَقُلْ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ

بَخْ بَخْ لِعَالِمٍ عَلِمَ فَكَفَّ وَخَافَ الْبَيَاتَ فَأَعَدَّ وَاسْتَعَدَّ إِنْ سُئِلَ أَفْصَحَ وَإِنْ تُرِكَ سَكَتَ كَلَامُهُ صَوَابٌ وَسُكُوتُهُ عَنْ غَيْرِ عِيٍّ عَنِ الْجَوَابِ [فِي الْجَوَابِ]
Congratulations to the scholar who knows and thus restrains himself [from sin], and who fears the sudden coming [of death] so he prepares himself and gets readyIf he is questioned he articulates, and if he is left he remains silent; his speech is accurate and his silence is not because of his inability to give an answer

Do not speak to the ignorant ones about that which they do not know such that they belie you, for indeed your knowledge has a right over you and its right is that you bestow it to those who are deserving of it and deny it to those who are not deserving of it

A scholar is not a true scholar until he stops being jealous of one who is above him, does not demean one who is below him and does not take in return for his knowledge anything of the vanities of this world
