أَجْرَانِ وَ لِلْمُتَعَلِّمِ أَجْرٌ وَ لَا خَيْرَ فِي سِوَى ذَلِكَ.

there are two rewards, and for the learner one reward; and there is no good in any beside that.

«36»- yr, Basa'ir al-Darajat: Muhammad b. al-Husayn, from 'Amr b. 'Uthman and Ibn Faddal together, from Jamil, from Muhammad b. Muslim, from Abu Ja'far, peace be upon him, who said: Indeed he among you who has learned knowledge has the like of the reward of him who teaches it, and the latter has the excellence over him. Learn knowledge from the bearers of knowledge, and teach it to your brethren as the scholars taught you.

بيان: ضمير له راجع إلى المعلم و قوله كما علمكم أي من غير تحريف و يحتمل أن يكون الكاف تعليلية.

Elucidation: the pronoun in "for him" refers back to the teacher. And his words "as they taught you" — that is, without alteration; and it is possible that the kaf is causal.

Muhammad, from Jabir, from Abu Ja'far, peace be upon him, who said: There is no servant who goes forth at morning in the seeking of knowledge and returns at evening but that he plunges into mercy, a plunging.

بيان: خاض الرحمة أي دخل فيها بحيث أحاطت به.

Elucidation: "he plunges into mercy" — that is, he enters into it such that it encompasses him.

Elucidation: that is, in the root of the reward, not in its measure — lest it contradict the other reports.

Muhammad, from Jabir al-Ju'fi, from Abu Ja'far, peace be upon him, who said: There is no servant who goes forth at morning in the seeking of knowledge, or returns at evening, but that he plunges into mercy, and the angels call out to him: Welcome, O visitor of God! and he travels in the Garden the like of that path.

بيان: من زار العالم لله و لطلب العلم لوجه اللّٰه فكأنه زار اللّٰه.

Elucidation: whoever visits the scholar for God and for the seeking of knowledge for the face of God, it is as though he had visited God.

«40»- sn, al-Mahasin: my father, from Ibn Sinan, from Abu al-Jarud, from Abu 'Ubayda, from Abu Sukhayla (1), from the Commander of the Faithful, God's blessings be upon him, who said: O people, there is no good in a religion in which there is no understanding, and no good in a world in which there is no reflection, and no good in devotion in which there is no scrupulousness.

بيان: لعل المراد بالتدبر في الدنيا التدبير فيها و ترك الإسراف و التقتير

Elucidation: perhaps what is meant by reflection upon the world is management in it, and the abandoning of extravagance and of stinting;
