2. By saying “my heir”, it was confirmed that the devotees of the Prophet  who are scholars are truly the heirs of the Prophets.

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه ! May Allah Almighty grant us the ability to love the people of knowledge and to honour them.

A Unique Expression of Love for a Syrian Scholar

Dear Islamic brothers! Once, the director of JāmiꜤat al-Maghribiyyah, Damascus, and a great saint of the Naqshbandī spiritual order, the spiritual guide, Sayyidunā Shaykh Rajab رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, who had arrived from Syria, came to the residence of Amīr Ahl al-Sunnah دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ to meet him.

As soon as Amīr Ahl al-Sunnah was informed, he immediately came down barefoot from the second floor, went to the door himself, welcomed the guest, and with great respect escorted him upstairs. Those present were astonished: a towering scholarly and spiritual personality of the 15th century, followed by millions of disciples and devotees who would lay themselves down in love and devotion for him, yet he seated the scholars and shuyūkh who had come from Syria on an elevated place, while he himself, with complete humility, sat on the ground. His manner of sitting was also extremely respectful, with his knees on the ground and his gaze lowered.

When these honoured guests were about to depart, he expressed immense love and respect: he shook their hands, embraced them, presented them with gifts, and then walked barefoot to the door to see them off.[1]
