CHAPTER ONE
On Knowledge and imparting Knowledge
His saying 'Yarfa'i llabu lladhina amani minkum wa-lladhīna utu l-ilma darajat - God raises by degrees those of you who are be- lievers and are granted Knowledge by degrees' (Koran, 58:11). Ibn 'Abbas, (the son of 'Abbas), Allah be pleased with them (), said, "The Learned may rise among the Faithful by seven hun- dred degrees, between each two degrees is the distance of a five hundred walk." And The Exalted said: 'Qul hal yastami lladbina lamuna wa-lladhina la ya lamun?- Say: Can those who Know be of the same level as those who do not Know?' (Koran, 39:9). year
And He said: 'Innama yakhsha llaha min ibadibi l-'ulama' - Only those servants of Knowledge fear God.' (Koran, 35:28). And fur- ther: 'Wa tilka l-amthalu naḍribuba li-n-nas, wa ma ya qiluba illa l-'alimun - And those examples we impart to people, but only the Knowledgeable fathom them.' (Koran, 29:43).
It is related that he, may Allah honour him and grant him peace (), said, 'Those of Knowledge are the Beneficiaries of the Prophets.' And, "The most useful of people is the Knowledgea- ble who, when needed, imparts knowledge, and when not need- ed, enriches himself with it." Also, 'Belief is naked: its dress is fear of God, its manifestation (outward decoration) is life, and its fruit is Knowledge."3 He said, "The nearest people to the rank of Prophethood are the people of Knowledge and the people of jihad; the people of Knowledge because they guide people to what the Prophets bring, whereas the people of jihad defend it with their swords.'4
He said, "The learned man is the trustee of God on earth.'5 And, 'On the Day of Resurrection the power of attestation is granted to the Prophets, and then the Learned and then the Martyrs.
