and you o scholar are the teacher of goodness and its seeker the caller to it and the one who urges people to it from the position of authority in the highest place because whoever god has made the grievances of the servants and the interests of the country to him and has made him a reviewer of the judges and a supporter of the governors and then god has made him a place of refuge for the scholars a refuge for the weak and a resting place for the wise then he has placed him in the highest of stations and the most sublime of ranks.
وأنت أيها العالم معلم الخير وطالبه، والداعي إليه، وحامل الناس عليه من موضع السلطان بأرفع المكان؛ لأن من جعل الله إليه مظالم العباد، ومصالح البلاد، وجعله متصفحا على القضاة، وعتادا على الولاة، ثم جعله الله منزع العلماء، ومفزع الضعفاء، ومستراح الحكماء، فقد وضعه بأرفع المنازل، وأسنى المراتب.
