حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الصَّوَّافُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حُمْرَانَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَوْفُ بْنُ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ مِخْرَاقٍ عَنْ أَبِي کِنَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَی الْأَشْعَرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ مِنْ إِجْلَالِ اللَّهِ إِکْرَامَ ذِي الشَّيْبَةِ الْمُسْلِمِ وَحَامِلِ الْقُرْآنِ غَيْرِ الْغَالِي فِيهِ وَالْجَافِي عَنْهُ وَإِکْرَامَ ذِي السُّلْطَانِ الْمُقْسِطِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4843
Narrated Abu Musa al-Ashari: The Prophet ﷺ said: Glorifying Allah involves showing honour to a grey-haired Muslim and to one who can expound the Quran, but not to one who acts extravagantly regarding it, or turns away from it, and showing honour to a just ruler.
