Abul Qasim Raghib Isfahani writes in his book, "Zari'ah", that one day a wise man passed by the house of man who was sitting at the door. The interior of the house
was beautiful and well decorated. But the master was in a dirty state, and was ignorant and foolish. When the wise man saw this false dignity, he detested the man and spitted on his face. The man became furious and said, "What an ignoble and foolish act you have done. The wise man replied, "This is not foolishness, but whatever I have done is sound. Saliva is thrown in the most degraded place, and in your entire house your face seemed the most befitting for it". The wise man hence warned him against ignorance and stupidity. He advised him, that adornment and beautification of the (perishable) house is not the way to salvation (when the soul is not adorned with the ornament of knowledge and wisdom).
And it has to be borne in the mind, that knowledge without practise is vain, and the scholar who does not practise what he preaches is useless.
Prophet Isa (A.S.) says, "The most wretched amongst men is the one who is known among people for his knowledge, but is indolent with regard to practise".
