Saying of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H)

I have been sent

as a Teacher. Ibn e Majah

“One of the rights of the scholar is that you greet people generally and then greet him with a special greeting”.

“Sit in front of him; Do not point with your hand in his presence, nor wink with your eye”.

“Do not quote someone else who said opposite of what he said; Do not backbite anyone in his presence”.

“Do not hunt for his faults, and if he makes a mistake accept his excuse; Dignify him for the sake of ALLAH”.

“If he needs anything, rush before everyone to serve him; Do not whisper in his presence; Do not grasp him by his garment”.

“Do not insist for answers when he becomes tired; Do not ever feel you have accompanied him enough, because he is like a palm tree from which people wait for fruits to drop from”.
