وَ حَقُّ سَائِسِكَ بِالْعِلْمِ التَّعْظِيمُ لَهُ وَ التَّوْقِيرُ لِمَجْلِسِهِ وَ حُسْنُ الِاسْتِمَاعِ إِلَيْهِ وَ الْإِقْبَالُ عَلَيْهِ وَ أَنْ لَا تَرْفَعَ عَلَيْهِ صَوْتَكَ وَ لَا تُجِيبَ أَحَداً يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ حَتَّى يَكُونَ هُوَ الَّذِي يُجِيبُ وَ لَا تُحَدِّثَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ أَحَداً وَ لَا تَغْتَابَ عِنْدَهُ أَحَداً وَ أَنْ تَدْفَعَ عَنْهُ إِذَا ذُكِرَ عِنْدَكَ بِسُوءٍ وَ أَنْ تَسْتُرَ عُيُوبَهُ وَ تُظْهِرَ مَنَاقِبَهُ وَ لَا تُجَالِسَ لَهُ عَدُوّاً وَ لَا تُعَادِيَ لَهُ وَلِيّاً And a right of your leader with knowledge is the admiration to him and the reverence to his gathering, and the good intent listening to him, and the acceptance upon it, and that you do not raise your voice over his nor answer anyone who asks him about something until he happens to be the one who answers, and do not discuss with anyone in his gathering, and do not backbite anyone in his presence, and that you defend him whenever he is mentioned with evil in your presence, and that you veil his faults, and manifest his virtues, and do not sit with an enemy of his, nor be inimical to a friend of his.

فَإِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ شَهِدَتْ لَكَ مَلَائِكَةُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِأَنَّكَ قَصَدْتَهُ وَ تَعَلَّمْتَ عِلْمَهُ لِلَّهِ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ اسْمُهُ لَا لِلنَّاسِ So when you do that, the Angels of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic would testify for you that you aimed Him -azwj , and you learnt his knowledge for Allah -azwj , Majestic and Mighty is His -azwj Name, not for the people.

وَ أَمَّا حَقُّ سَائِسِكَ بِالْمِلْكِ فَأَنْ تُطِيعَهُ وَ لَا تَعْصِيَهُ إِلَّا فِيمَا يُسْخِطُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ And as for a right of your leader with the kingdom, so it is that you obey him and do not disobey him, except in what Angers Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic’. [60] [1] They insist as they like and we cannot convince them so we have no other option but to fulfil their needs, otherwise they just cry. [2] Jama-ul-Akhbar, Ch. Oulad, 62, pp. 181.
