Sunan Abi Dawud 4843 (Book 43, Hadith 71) #25134
Honouring Elders, Scholars and Just Rulers

SUMMARY: Showing honour to elderly Muslims, those who can expound the Quran and just rulers is a way of glorifying Allah.

Narrated AbuMusa al-Ash'ari: The Prophet said: Glorifying Allah involves showing honour to a grey-haired Muslim and to one who can expound the Qur'an, but not to one who acts extravagantly regarding it, or turns away from it, and showing honour to a just ruler.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الصَّوَّافُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حُمْرَانَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَوْفُ بْنُ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ مِخْرَاقٍ، عَنْ أَبِي كِنَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ مِنْ إِجْلاَلِ اللَّهِ إِكْرَامَ ذِي الشَّيْبَةِ الْمُسْلِمِ وَحَامِلِ الْقُرْآنِ غَيْرِ الْغَالِي فِيهِ وَالْجَافِي عَنْهُ وَإِكْرَامَ ذِي السُّلْطَانِ الْمُقْسِطِ
