Dowra notes two

What other basin will you go to? Other than the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him)

Scholars when they are travelling

Who doesn’t recognise blessings in his life, they will be taken from them, we have to know the reality of blessings

It’s permissible for a scholar to take money if he has no other method (when travelling)

In an hadith the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) said, “Don’t let anyone eat your food except a person of Taqwa.”

There are different types of awilya some can travel great distances, others have different skills

Some scholars chose to travel others did not

Others travelled then stayed somewhere, others travelled and kept travelling

Some students would travel from great distances for one word what about if you learned a sentence. Jabir ibn Abdullah went to Egypt for a hadith about a student who travels for knowledge who is the path of Allah until he returns

They went to meet other scholars and knowledge

Sometimes students can be benefit from a glance, whoever glance doesn’t benefit then his words doesn’t benefit. In other words he will teach by actions rather than words

Whoever doesn’t act on the knowledge he has, his words will be from his hawa (lower passions)

Every student he meets increases that student

The people of certainty speak with their actions more than the words that they say

A glance is beneficial

The one who works from knowledge, he will speak with light

Merely looking at the scholars of knowledge is a benefit itself

It will destroy the impurity in your hearts

The scholars have this ability to look at an individual and they can see their sincerity

The Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) “The evil eye is true.”

Looking at someone with evil eye has an effect, so what about the good look of a gnostic it can have a good effect

Turtles have the ability to look at their eggs and this will make them hatch, what about the glance of a true Gnostic

It’s as if they look at someone their look will benefit from them

Some scholars would look at people and see if they where being looked at

They want to teach their souls to taste things that they are not comfortable with so they can get a reward with Allah Subhanu wa Ta'ala

One of their intentions they make is that they want to over come their hawa

Their true character will only show when you travel with them

When your tired it is harder to have good character, it is easy to be good when you’re at home and this impacts the soul of the traveller and this is the training

A person will travel all over the place so he can leave the pleasures of the world

The way to attain victory in this world is to remember Allah Subhanu wa Ta'ala and read the stories of the righteous and attach our hearts to them

If a man has a lot of whispering of satan, he shouldn’t leave the prayer

We should know that Allah Subhanu wa Ta'ala dislikes people to have bad opinion of people and he will punish for it, have a good opinion even if it be evil people

Allah Subhanu wa Ta'ala will take people into account not you

To find out who is good scholar you should see good character and good state

We should have a good opinion of people and even if we see them doing bad we should find excuses for them
