“He is not from my Ummah who does not acknowledge the honour due to our elders, who shows no mercy to our younger ones and nor recognises the right of our scholar.”

‘Ubaadah b. as-Saamit رضي الله عنه narrated that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

.« ليس من أمتي من لم يج ّ ل كبيرنا، ويرحم صغيرنا، ويعرف لعالمنا حقه »

“He is not from my Ummah who does not acknowledge the honour due to our elders, who shows no mercy to our younger ones and nor recognises the right of our scholar.”

Al-Munziri said: reported by Ahmad with a hasan chain. Al-Haythami said: reported by Ahmad and at-Tabaraani and its isnad is hasan.
