THE RIGHTS OF AN ELDER
It is the right of an elder that you must respect him because of
his age, and honour him because of his Islam if he has any virtue from Islamic standard. [You do so] by always keeping him forward and not arguing with him in talk, and no overtaking
him while walking.
Then not stepping ahead of him in the pathway; and do not be rude to him and bear with him if he is rude to you; and maintain his respect because his age is
advanced in Islam (because the worth of his age is according to
the worth of Islam).
THE RIGHT OF THE YOUNGER
It is the right of a younger person to love him by bringing him
up and educating him properly; and to forgive him and cover his
faults.
Be kind to him and help him and cover up the mistake committed because of his young age, as this [love and sympathy] is a means of his repentance; and forbear with him
and do not quarrel with him; because it is nearer to his
guidance.
