Answer:
I heard it said, the questioner asks: How do we know the characteristics of the true divine scholar? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good? The divine scholar is connected to two characteristics. The first characteristic is the fear of Allah the Exalted and Majestic . He fears the Lord, Blessed and Exalted is He, acts upon his knowledge, and is sincere to Allah, Mighty and Majestic.
The second characteristic is that he nurtures people in goodness . He nurtures people in knowledge and progresses with them step by step. For this reason, some of the Salaf said that the divine scholar is the one who nurtures people with the small matters of knowledge before the large ones. He nurtures them with the small matters of knowledge before the large ones. This is the divine scholar: he fears Allah first, acts upon his knowledge, nurtures people, and progresses with them in knowledge step by step. He does not burden them or throw all the knowledge at them in one lump, nor does he overwhelm them. He progresses with them, is gentle with them, and is patient with that until he brings them to the path of safety. Then he will have the reward of their deeds in addition to his own reward. Yes.
