It was said to al-Hasan al-Basri regarding something he said, “Oh Abu Sa’eed, I I have never heard any of the fuqaha say this,” so he said, “And have you ever seen a faqih? The faqih is he who wants nothing from this world, longs for the hereafter, and is devoted to worship. And I have never seen a faqih try to please anyone- he spreads the wisdom of Allah, and if it is accepted he praises Allah, and if it is rejected he praises Allah.”
