قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) هَؤُلَاءِ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ كَسْبَ الْمُعَلِّمِ سُحْتٌ فَقَالَ كَذَبُوا أَعْدَاءُ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا أَرَادُوا أَنْ لَا يُعَلِّمُوا الْقُرْآنَ وَ لَوْ أَنَّ الْمُعَلِّمَ أَعْطَاهُ رَجُلٌ دِيَةَ وَلَدِهِ لَكَانَ لِلْمُعَلِّمِ مُبَاحاً .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Bundar, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Shareef Bin Sabiq, from Al Fazl Bin Abu qurra who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘They (people) are saying that the earnings of the teacher is an ill-gotten gain’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘They are lying, enemies of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! But rather, they are intending that they (teachers) should not be teaching the Quran, and if the teacher is given by a man wergild of his child, it would be Permissible’.
