Pearl of Wisdom

was once asked a question by a man, to which he duly replied, and to which the man then retorted, 'The jurists do not say this!' The Imam said, 'Woe unto you! Have you ever seen a jurist?! A real jurist is a person who is ascetic from this world, who craves for the Hereafter, and strongly holds onto the tradition of the Prophet (SAWA).'

Imam Muhammad ibn Ali al-Baqir [as]
al-Kafi, v. 1, p. 70, no. 8
