Do not be arrogant to the weak

وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him].

 

And repulse not the one who asks.
meaning,
`just as you were astray and Allah guided you, then do not scorn the one who asks for knowledge seeking to be guided.’
Ibn Ishaq said,

وَأَمَّا السَّأيِلَ فَلَ تَنْهَرْ

(And repulse not the one who asks).
“This means do not be oppressive, arrogant, wicked, or mean to the weak among Allah’s servants.”
Qatadah said,
“This means respond to the poor with mercy and gentleness.”
