Pearl of Wisdom

'Whoever from among the jurists safeguards himself, is protective of his religion, opposes his temptations, is obedient to his Master's commands, then the common people must emulate him, and this is only [applicable to] some of the Shi'a jurists, not all of them.'

Imam Hasan ibn Ali al-Askari [as]
al-Ihtijaj, v. 2, p. 510, no. 337
