A semantic consideration of the technical term: the scholars of charity, ulama ul-abrar

The scholars of charity is a phrase used by some Imam`s companions for characterising Imams` place. Relying on the usage of the phrase by some, some have viewed that those using the phrase have not agreed with such Imams` properties as purity and infallible science. Studying the sreams of thought of Imams` companions on Imam`s science and relevant concepts, one concludes that some used the word scientist in a meaning other than that by other, to describe the difference of Imam and Prophet`s ways of connection to angles. For the former, Imam is in connection with angles but not in the same way as Prophet. Imam does not see angles at all; sometimes angles, however, speak with him. In this way, the phrase the pious people of charity in Imimi`s traditions can be regarded as a reference to a position equivalent to infallibility.
