The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: How do we know the divine scholar from others?
The Shaykh:
You know him by his knowledge. You know him by his knowledge and by what… the people are upon. The people also know the scholar, and they know the ignorant one, and they know the one who pretends to be a scholar. The people know what this one conceals from them.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
You know him by his words, his actions, and his conduct. Yes.
