The answer

The beneficial disciplinarian is the divinely-guided scholar (Rabbani al-ʿalim) who adheres to the Sacred Law, and is adorned with good manners and excellent character. It is incumbent upon him to first reform himself, because the eyes of the learners are fixed upon him. What he considers good is considered good by them, and what he dislikes is considered ugly by them. He must teach them the Book of Allah without coercion or abandonment, and he should provide them with the purest poetry and the noblest . He should not move them from one field of knowledge to another until they have mastered it, lest too much information overwhelm their hearing and confuse their understanding.
