A ticket for the listener and the speaker in the literature of the scholar and the learner

Author's name: Dur al-Din ibn Jama'ah al-Kinani, d. 733 AH

It is the duty of the people of knowledge to control its meanings and reveal its truths and secrets so that the path is passable, free of confusion and thorns, while clarifying its principles to facilitate the methods of travel and arrival. In contrast, what is more beautiful than the advice of Al-Khatib Al-Baghdadi in his comprehensive book on the morals of the narrator and the manners of the listener (1/78):
It is obligatory for students of hadith to be the most well-mannered of people, the most humble of creation, the most religious and honest, and the least reckless and angry, because their ears are constantly being bombarded with news that includes the good morals and manners of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and the conduct of the righteous predecessors from among his family and companions, and the methods of the hadith scholars and the deeds of the past. So they take the most beautiful and best of them and turn away from the most vile and base of them.
This book benefits students and scholars because of its precise warnings and reliable investigations, which dazzle the mind due to the beauties of guidance, the innovations of traces, and the subtleties of narrations. Among the most beautiful things it contains is diversity within a unique behavioral framework, in addition to the gradual progression in guidance and gentleness in warning, starting with beginner students, passing through their peers from the outstanding ones, and reaching the ranks of the divine scholars, workers, and those with understanding. Ibn al-Jawzi, may God have mercy on him, said in his book, Sayd al-Khatir:
I saw from my old opinion that the benefit of classifications is greater than the benefit of oral education, because I have seen in my life a number of educated people, and I have seen through my classifications countless people who have not yet been created.
The scholar should have classifications, because not everyone who classifies classifies, and the aim is not to collect anything, however it may be. Rather, they are secrets that God informs whomever He wills of His servants and enables them to uncover them, so that they may collect what has been separated, arrange what has been scattered, or explain what has been neglected. This is useful classification.
