الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

اطْلُبُوا الْعِلْمَ وَ تَزَيَّنُوا مَعَهُ بِالْحِلْمِ وَ الْوَقَارِ وَ تَوَاضَعُوا لِمَنْ تُعَلِّمُونَهُ الْعِلْمَ وَ تَوَاضَعُوا لِمَنْ طَلَبْتُمْ مِنْهُ الْعِلْمَ وَ لَا تَكُونُوا عُلَمَاءَ جَبَّارِينَ فَيَذْهَبَ بَاطِلُكُمْ بِحَقِّكُمْ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Seek knowledge and along with it, adorn yourself with clemency and solemnity, be humble towards the one whom you teach as well as the one from whom you seek knowledge and do not be among tyrant scholars lest your evil deeds nullify your good deeds.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

ُ يَا طَالِبَ الْعِلْمِ إِنَّ لِلْعَالِمِ ثَلَاثَ عَلَامَاتٍ الْعِلْمَ وَ الْحِلْمَ وَ الصَّمْتَ وَ لِلْمُتَكَلِّفِ ثَلَاثَ عَلَامَاتٍ يُنَازِعُ مَنْ فَوْقَهُ بِالْمَعْصِيَةِ وَ يَظْلِمُ مَنْ دُونَهُ بِالْغَلَبَةِ وَ يُظَاهِرُ الظَّلَمَةَ.

Imam Ali (as):

O seeker of knowledge! Verily the scholar has three signs: Knowledge, clemency, and silence. And an ignorant man who feigns knowledge has three signs: he quarrels with his superior by disobeying him, wrongs his subordinates by trying to dominate them and supports the oppressors.

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

مِنَ الْعُلَمَاءِ مَنْ يَرَى أَنْ يَضَعَ الْعِلْمَ عِنْدَ ذَوِي الثَّرْوَةِ وَ الشَّرَفِ وَ لَا يَرَى لَهُ فِي الْمَسَاكِينِ وَضْعاً فَذَاكَ فِي الدَّرْكِ الثَّالِثِ مِنَ النَّار.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

إِنَّ الْعَالِمَ إِذَا لَمْ يَعْمَلْ بِعِلْمِهِ زَلَّتْ مَوْعِظَتُهُ عَنِ الْقُلُوبِ كَمَا يَزِلُّ الْمَطَرُ عَنِ الصَّفَا.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

When the knowledgeable man does not act upon his knowledge, his exhortation slips away from the hearts like the rain slips off a flat rock.

رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):

إِنَّ مَثَلَ الْعُلَمَاءِ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَثَلِ النُّجُومِ فِي السَّمَاءِ يُهْتَدَى بِهَا فِي ظُلُمَاتِ الْبَرِّ وَ الْبَحْرِ فَإِذَا طُمِسَتْ أَوْشَكَ أَنْ تَضِلَّ الْهُدَاةُ.

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

Verily the parable of the scholars on the earth is that of the stars in the sky; the right way is determined through them in the darkness of land and sea, and once they disappear, the guided ones are likely to lose the way.

مُرِ الصَّبيَّ فلْيَتَصدَّقْ بيدِهِ بالكِسْرةِ و القَبْضةِ و الشَّيءِ و إنْ قَلَّ ، فإنَّ كلَّ شيءٍ يُرادُ بهِ اللّهُ ـ و إنْ قَلَّ ـ بعدَ أنْ تَصدُقَ النِّيّةُ فيهِ عظيمٌ .

Imam al-Reḍa (as):

Instruct the child to give charity with his own hand, be it a piece of bread or a handful of [food] or any other small thing, for everything - no matter how little it is -if done for the sake of Allah and with an honest intention- is great.
