al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 2088

Translation

✧ A man related a hadith in the presence of al-Hasan, and al-Hasan said: “Who told you this?” He said: “The fuqaha'.” He said: “Have you ever seen with your own eyes a true faqih?” Then he said: “Do you know who the faqih is? The faqih is the one who renounces this world, desires the Hereafter, is knowledgeable in this religion, and adheres to knowledge.”
