Hadith 51

is not wanted from him what is wanted from the eloquent scholar, and like that is the mute one regarding the recitation in the Salat and the Tashahhud, and what resembles that. This one is at the status of the deprived non-Arab. It is not wanted from him what is wanted from the scholar talking eloquently, and even if the eloquently speaking scholar were to go until he leaves what he knows, it would still necessitate him and he has to act upon it, and it is befitting for him, if he were to stand by it until that would happen from him in the Nabatean, and the Persian, due to the barrier between him and that, with the discipline until he returns to what he had known and understood’. He-asws said: ‘And if the one who does not happen to be in state similar to the non-Arab and the mute were to go and do the deeds of the non-Arabs and the mute, based upon what we‑asws have described, then there would not be anyone doing anything from the good nor would the ignorant one be recognised from the scholar’’.
