As salamu aleikoum,
As a law student, I would like to know if there is any hadith (shia if possible) about acquiring secular knowledge.
I know there are a lot of hadiths about acquiring knowledge but I wonder if these hadiths only speak about religious knowledge.
I recall a mollah talking about one of our Imams (as) giving a long chemistry lesson to someone though. Also, I heard that one is not considered a true shia if there is anyone better/more successful in their village. Again, I don't know what exactly this hadith means. The mollah stressed that as a muslim/shia you should be the best at everything you do, although he didn't mention any narration about that (starting from 7:30).
