12. It is mentioned in a Hadith that to look at the face of an aalim is an act of Ibaadat. (Daylami - on the authority of Anas radiallahu anhu)
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is reported to have said: "Allah be pleased with that man (and woman) who hears something from me and then conveys it to others exactly as he heard it. The reason is that often, the person who receives the message is more knowledgeable than the one who conveys it." (Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah). How great a virtue has been attached to the knowledge of Deen that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam honoured the one who serves the Deen, especially the one who serves the science of Hadith by including him in his blessed dua. The Ulama have stated that through the learning and teaching of Hadith, if there was no other benefit apart from the blessings of this dua; even then one cannot afford to leave these blessings. In reality, great rewards apart from the blessings of this dua are found. O people! value this pious dua, seek knowledge of the Deen and there will be success in this world and in the hereafter.
13. It is mentioned in a Hadith that even if one person accepts Islam at the hands of someone, he will definitely get paradise. (Tabrani) In this Hadith there are glad tidings of dying in a state of Iman because if a person dies in a state of Iman, he will definitely enter paradise. To make someone a Muslim is actually the work of an aalim. What guidance will a jaahil who does not even know the rules himself be able to give to others? Here, aalim does not refer to a ranking aalim. Instead, his virtue will be according to whatever knowledge he has.
14. It is related in a Sahih Hadith that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: "Whoever conveys forty Ahadeeth to my ummah, I will make a special intercession for him on the day of Qiyamat." (Jaami as-Sagheer) Here, "conveying" is general - it could be done through teaching, through writing, or by delivering lectures. In other words, convey it in any way as long as it is conveyed to the people. It is for this reason that the ulama have written many compilations of "Forty Ahadeeth".
15. It is mentioned in a Hadith: "Most certainly, Allah does not like an aalim who is fat." (Bayhaqi) This means that the aalim who is a practising aalim can never be fat on account of his services to the Deen and fear of the Hereafter. Being fat is actually an indication of living a life of luxury and pleasure and falling into negligence. Such a person cannot be accepted. At times negligence, luxuries and pleasures are considered to be sins. Some of them are makruh, while others are below the stage of perfection. The dislike of Allah will be according to the level of negligence. However, if a person is fat from birth or due to some illness, then this obesity will not be a cause of dislike on the part of Allah Ta'ala.
16. It is mentioned in a Hadith that the most severely punished person on the day of Qiyamat will be that aalim who did not benefit from his knowledge. (Jaami as-Sagheer)
17. It is mentioned in a Hadith that there is a valley in hell which seeks refuge four hundred times daily. The proud and haughty ulama will be entered into it. (Mishkaat) This refers to that aalim who renders religious services in order to show people. He acquires and imparts knowledge so that people may regard him as an aalim, respect him, give him money and regard him as a pious person. To offer acts of worship in order to show anyone other than Allah is a major sin and is also a form of shirk (ascribing partners to Allah).
18. Hadrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud radiallahu anhu says that if the people of knowledge valued knowledge and placed it in the right hands (i.e. passed it on to those who have the capability of acquiring it and becoming leaders. To teach that which is compulsory, is necessary on every person, but more than the basic with which a person can lead others, should only be taught to those who have the capability); then without doubt, the Jews and the Christians would have become leaders of the time on account of their knowledge. However, they wasted their knowledge on the worldly people in order that they may gain some worldly benefit from them. As a result, they became wretched and disgraced in the eyes of the worldly people. (This happened because the right of knowledge was that through it the pleasure of Allah should have been sought. By seeking the benefits of this world, they actually disgraced knowledge, the result of which was that they themselves became disgraced. If an aalim does not have any greed and fulfils the rights of the Deen, Allah Ta'ala will automatically put respect in the hearts of the people for him. In the same way, the one who seeks the world
