Imam al-Rida (AS), when asked about the qualities of the ascetic, replied, 'He manages to still his hunger without pursuit of food, he is well-prepared for his death, and weary of his life in this world.
الإمامُ الرِّضا (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ لَمّا سُئلَ عن صِفَةِ الزاهِدِ ـ: مُتَبَلِّغٌ بِدُونِ قُوتِهِ ، مُستَعِدٌّ لِيَومِ مَوتِهِ ، مُتَبَرِّمٌ بحَياتِهِ .
