Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 4-1045b
"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: مِنْ حَقِّ الْعَالِم عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُسَلِّمَ عَلَى الْقَوْم عَامَّةً وَتَخُصَّهُ دُونَهُمْ بِالتَّحِيَّة، وَأن تَجْلِسَ أَمَامَهُ ولاَ تُشِيرَنَّ عِنْدَهُ بِيَدِكَ، وَلاَ تَغْمِزَنَّ بِعَيْنَيْكَ، وَلاَ تَقُولَنَّ قَالَ فُلاَنٌ خِلاَفًا لِقَوْلِهِ، وَلاَ تَغْتَابَنَّ عِنْدَهُ أَحَدًا، وَلاَ تُسَارَّ فِى مَجْلِسِهِ، وَلاَ تَأخُذْ بثَوْبِهِ، وَلاَ تُلِحَّ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا مَلَّ، وَلاَ تُعْرِضْ مِنْ طُولِ صُحْبَتِهِ، فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ بِمَنْزِلَة النَّخْلَة تَنْتَظِرُ مَتَى يَسْقُطُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْهَا شَىْءٌ، فَإِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ الْعَالِمَ لأَعْظَمُ أَجْرًا مِنَ الصَّائِمِ الْقَائِم الْغَازِى فِى سَبِيلِ اللهِ، فَإِذَا مَاتَ الْعَالِمُ انثَلمَتْ فِى الإِسْلاَمِ ثُلْمَةٌ لاَ يَسُدُّهَا شَىْءٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ".

"On the authority of Ali, who said: Among the rights of the scholar over you is that you greet the people in general, but single him out for the greeting above them; that you sit in front of him; that you do not gesture with your hand in his presence; that you do not wink with your eyes; that you do not say, 'So-and-so said,' contrary to his statement; that you do not backbite anyone in his presence; that you do not whisper in his assembly; that you do not take hold of his garment; that you do not press him when he is weary; and that you do not turn away from him because of a long companionship, for he is like the palm tree: you wait for something to fall on you from it. Indeed, the believing scholar is greater in reward than the fasting one who stands in prayer and the one who fights in the way of Allah. When the scholar dies, a breach opens in Islam that nothing will close until the Day of Resurrection."
