The Etiquettes of Seeking Knowledge (Shaykh Bakr Aboo Zayd)

– حلية طالب العلم

The Etiquette of Seeking Knowledge … to adorn oneself with beautiful etiquette, noble

manners, good behaviour, and pious conduct are distinguishing characteristics of the

people of Islam, and knowledge – the most precious pearl in the crown of the purified

Shariah – cannot be attained except by those who adorn themselves with its etiquette

and those who leave evil qualities associated to it. For this reason the scholars devoted

their attention to this etiquette, outlined its importance and wrote books solely on this

topic; either pertaining to (general conduct] with all types of knowledge or to specific

types of knowledge such as the etiquette of the carriers of the Noble Quran, the etiquette

of the muhaddith, the etiquette of the mufti, the etiquette of the qazi (judge), the

etiquette of the muhtasib (the one who enjoins good and forbids evil for the sake of

Allah) and so on. The issue of this book is the general conduct of those who take the path

of seeking the knowledge of the Sharee’ah
