(The book) ‘Basaair Al Darajaat’ – Ibn Marouf, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Zurara, From Abu Ja’far -asws having said: ‘The knowledge which did not cease to be with Adam -as , was not raised.
The knowledge gets inherited, and Ali -asws was a scholar of his community , and surely ‘ عَالِمٌ ’ a scholar from us -asws will never be destroyed (pass away) except he -asws leaves behind one -asws from his -asws family who knows similar to his -asws knowledge, or whatever Allah -azwj so Desires’’. [29] In another Hadith Imam -asws asked: . وَتَدْرِي مَنِ الْعُلَمَاءُ؟ فَقُلْتُ: لا يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ.
فَقَالَ هُمْ عُلَمَاءُ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ الَّذِينَ فَرَضَ اللَّهُ طَاعَتَهُمْ وَأَوْجَبَ مَوَدَّتَهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَتَدْرِي مَا مَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ أَوْ لِيُقْبِلَ بِوُجُوهِ النَّاسِ إِلَيْهِ قُلْتُ لا قَالَ يَعْنِي وَاللَّهِ بِذَلِكَ ادِّعَاءَ الإِمَامَةِ بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهَا وَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَفِي النَّارِ. Do you know who the scholars are? I said: ‘O son of the Prophet of Allah -azwj !
No.’ Imam -asws said: ‘They are the scholars from the Household of Muhammad -saww whose obedience has been made incumbent (upon people) by Allah -azwj and Allah -azwj has made it obligatory upon the people to love them.
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Salih, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, from Abu Ja’far -asws said: ‘The one from you who teaches the knowledge, for him would be a Recompense similar to the Recompense of the student, and for him would be the merit upon him (as being his teacher).
