It is narrated from the seventh Shia Imam, Musa Al-Kadhim (AS) who said:
The people are in four groups.
- The ignorant one (Jahil) who is sunk in his inordinate desires and is danger of being destroyed.
- The fake Abid (worshipper) who pretends to be pious and the more he worships, the more arrogant he becomes.
- The scholar (Alim) who wants others to walk behind him and likes to be praised.
- And the honest and truthful person (Sadeq) who likes to establish justice, but is either unable or under domination. Such a person is the best example in life and the wisest of the people of his time/her time [1].
