Advice for a student of knowledge who has had disputes with his classmates

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And this questioner says: There are some students of knowledge who directed me to their mosque, so I sought knowledge there. Then, after that, they became jealous of me, and disputes arose between us to the point that they no longer inform me about the scholars' study circles. What do you advise us to do?

The Shaykh:
You are the one who wronged them. They asked you to seek knowledge in their mosque, and then perhaps you had a sense of self-importance and started arguing with them and speaking ill of them. So, hold your tongue, hold your tongue, and be good to them as they were good to you. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you. This question is from a student of knowledge from Azerbaijan; this questioner is from Azerbaijan.

The Shaykh:
If the fault is yours, correct the fault. If the fault is theirs, be patient with it and seek their affection. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
