‘Imran al-Minqari reported: I said one day to Al-Hasan al-Basri, may Allah be pleased with him, about something he claimed, “O Abu Sa’id, this is not as the jurists say!” Al-Hasan said, “Woe to you! Do you think of yourself as merely a jurist? Surely, the true jurist is only one who renounces the world by seeking the Hereafter, insightful in the matters of his religion, and constantly worshiping his Lord.”

عَنْ عِمْرَانَ الْمِنْقَرِيِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَوْمًا فِي شَيْءٍ قَالَهُ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ لَيْسَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الْفُقَهَاءُ فَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ وَرَأَيْتَ أَنْتَ فَقِيهًا قَطُّ إِنَّمَا الْفَقِيهُ الزَّاهِدُ فِي الدُّنْيَا الرَّاغِبُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ الْبَصِيرُ بِأَمْرِ دِينِهِ الْمُدَاوِمُ عَلَى عِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ
