Historical sources have praised Bishr's [[ascesis]] and said that after he repented, he secluded himself from people and occupied himself with [[worshipping]]. He also refrained from transmitting hadiths and toward the end of his life, buried the hadiths he had collected in the ground. Bishr was famous because of his ascesis. However, he said that the [[Prophet (s)]] mentioned his fame, a result of his adherence to the tradition, respecting the good, loving the companions and the [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]]. It is said that Bishr always repeated this supplication, "O God! If you have made me famous in this world to make me humiliated in the hereafter, take that [fame] from me." | Historical sources have praised Bishr's [[ascesis]] and said that after he repented, he secluded himself from people and occupied himself with [[worshipping]].
