[Machine] He said, "O bearer of knowledge, act upon your knowledge and give from your wealth, and withhold from attributing any superiority to yourself except in something from the narration that benefits you before your Lord. O bearer of knowledge, indeed whoever acquires knowledge and does not act upon it, it will be an argument against him and an excuse for him before his Lord when he meets Him. O bearer of knowledge, indeed what you have been commanded of obedience to Allah will occupy you from what you have been prohibited from disobedience to Allah. O bearer of knowledge, do not be strong in the work of others and weak in the work of yourself. O bearer of knowledge, do not let what is for others distract you from what is for you. O bearer of knowledge, respect the scholars, seek their company, listen to them, and avoid disputing with them. O bearer of knowledge, respect the scholars for their knowledge and belittle the ignorant for their ignorance. Do not distance yourself from them, but rather bring them closer and teach them. O bearer of knowledge, do not speak of a matter in a gathering until you understand it, and do not respond to a person's statement until you know what he said to you. O bearer of knowledge, do not be deceived by Allah or by people, for being deceived by Allah leads to the abandonment of His command and being deceived by people is following their desires. Beware of what Allah has warned you from within yourself, and beware of the temptations of people. O bearer of knowledge, the brightness of daylight is only complete with the presence of the sun, and likewise, wisdom is only complete with obedience to Allah. O bearer of knowledge, just as irrigation and soil are necessary for cultivation to succeed, education and action are necessary for faith to flourish. O bearer of knowledge, every traveler is equipped, and he will find what he needs when he needs it. Similarly, every worker will find in the Hereafter what he has done in the worldly life. O bearer of knowledge, when Allah intends to inspire you to worship Him, know that He simply wants to manifest your honor to you. So do not turn towards others, lest you return from His honor to his humiliation. O bearer of knowledge, it is easier for you to carry stones and iron than to speak to someone who does not understand your words. And the likeness of one who speaks to someone who does not understand his words is like one who calls the dead and sets the table for the people of the graves."
