By Shaykh Mash-hoor Hasan Salmaan
[Q]: Some people say that An-Nawawee is a greater scholar then Al-Albaanee (rahimahumullaah), whereas others say that Al-Albaanee is a greater scholar than An-Nawawee, what is your opinion regarding this?
The scholars have a principle that states, ‘whoever extols his shaykh it is as if he has extolled himself.’ Meaning that whenever a student constantly praises his Shaykh, he is in realty praising himself because the shaykh in regards to the student is like his father, so just as a person exaggerates in the praise of his father, likewise for the one who exaggerates in the praise of his shaykh.
