Three essential characteristics

Reference: Siyar A’laam an-Nubalaa – Volume 6, Page 96

Abu Haazim said:

You will not be a scholar until you possess three characteristics.

[That you] do not desire those who are above you [in status], or disparage those who are below you [in status], nor sell your knowledge for this world.
