**The Etiquette of Seeking Knowledge: Patience in Receiving Revelation
﴿وَلَا تَعْجَلْ بِٱلْقُرْءَانِ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يُقْضَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ وَحْيُهُۥ ۖ وَقُل رَّبِّ زِدْنِى عِلْمًا﴾
“And do not hasten with the Qur’an before its revelation to you is completed, and say: ‘My Lord, increase me in knowledge.’”
Explanation:
From this noble verse, we derive an essential principle regarding the etiquette of seeking knowledge: the student must embody patience, composure, and attentiveness. One should allow the teacher to complete their speech—especially when the ideas are connected—before asking questions.
Interrupting, rushing, or cutting off the one conveying knowledge is not merely poor manners; it is a cause of being deprived of true understanding and benefit. True learning is not just in what is said, but in how it is received.
— عبد الرحمن بن ناصر السعدي (p. 514)
