Respecting Teachers

Respecting your Teachers – ادب العالم والمتعلم

Imaam Shafi’iee said about his teacher Imaam Maalik:

كنت أصفح الورق بين يدي مالك رحمه الله صفحا رفيقاً، هيبة له لئلا يسمع وقعها

“I would turn the pages of my books in front of Imaam Maalik in a very soft, quiet way, out of awe, as to not disturb him by its noise.”

[Quoted by Nawawi in “Majmu”, 67].
