Honoring and respecting scholars
The Prophet (SAW) said: "Part of glorifying Allah is to honor the grey-haired Muslim, the carrier of the Qur'an who is neither extravagant with it nor negligent of it, and to honor the just ruler."
Reference: Sunan Abi Dawud 4843, on the authority of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (RA)
Explanation
Honoring those who carry and teach the Qur'an is directly tied here to honoring Allah Himself.
