Bishr the Barefoot


"Ahmad-ibn Hanbal visited Beshr frequently, having a complete faith in him to such a point that his pupils protested. “Today you are without rival as a scholar of Traditions, the law, theology and every manner of science, yet every moment you go after a [poor]fellow. Is that seemly?”
“Indeed, in all the sciences you have enumerated I have better knowledge than he,” Ahmad-e Hanbal replied. “But he knows God better than I.”
