Moreover, he should praise a student whose excellence is manifest, as long as there is no problem with conceit or something else that may be feared of him. He should gently admonish whoever falls short in his studies, as long as he does not fear alienating him.
Never should a teacher envy a student for excelling, nor harbor thoughts that what God has bestowed upon him is excessive. This is because envying even strangers is strictly unlawful.
How is it, then, with envying a student who is like one’s own son, and whose excellences shall cause his teacher to reap abundant reward in the Hereafter and excellent praise in this world?
