Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Children in the Qur’an and Sunnah Chapter 3: The Child’s Duties Towards His Teacher 3.1: Obedience 450. The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: “He whom you learn one word from, has made you become his servant.”[^1] 451. ‘Awali al-La’ali : It is narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) said: “He who teaches something to someone owns him.” It was said: “O Messenger of Allah! Can he sell him?” He (s.a.w.) answered: “No.

But he can command him and forbid him.”[^2] الإطاعَةُ .450رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: مَن تَعَلَّمتَ مِنهُ حَرفاً، صِرتَ لَهُ عَبداً. .451عوالي اللالي: رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وآله أنَّهُ قالَ: مَن عَلَّمَ شَخصاً مَسأَلَةً، فَقَد مَلَكَ رَقَبَتَهُ. فَقيلَ لَهُ يا رَسولَ اللهِ: أيَبيعُهُ؟ فَقالَ صلى الله عليه وآله: لا، ولكِن يَأمُرُهُ ويَنهاهُ. 3.2: Honouring 452.

Imam ‘Ali (a.s.) said: “Honour your guest even if he is menial, and stand up for your father and your teacher even if you are a commander.”[^3] 453. Imam ‘Ali (a.s.) said: “There are three things of which you should not be ashamed of: A man serving his guest, standing up for his father and his teacher, and demanding his right even if it is little.”[^4] 454. Imam al-Sajjad (a.s.) said: “The right of your teacher is to honour him, revere his presence, listen to him carefully and heed him.

You must not raise your voice over him, not answer a person who has asked him until he himself answers, not speak with anyone in his meeting, and you should not backbite anyone in his presence. You should defend him when someone speaks against him, you should conceal his defects and reveal his virtues, and you should not associate with his enemy and not be hostile with his friend.

If you were to do this, the angels of Allah will bear witness for you that you have gone to him and you have learnt his knowledge for the sake of Allah the Exalted, and not for the sake of people.”[^5] التَّعظيمُ‏ .452الإمام عليّ عليه السلام: أكرِم ضَيفَكَ وإن كانَ حَقيرا، وقُم عَن مَجلِسِكَ لِأبيكَ ومُعَلِّمِكَ وإن كُنتَ أميرا. .453عنه عليه السلام: ثَلاثٌ لا يُستَحيى مِنهُنَّ: خِدمَةُ الرَّجُلِ ضَيفَهُ، وقِيامُهُ عَن مَجلِسِهِ لِأَبيهِ ومُعَلِّمِهِ، وطَلَبُ الحَقِّ وإن قَلَّ.
