Start studying early [don’t be an ignorant shaykh]
It is reported that Hishâm b. ‘Urwah said, reporting from his father, ‘Urwah b. Al-Zubayr – Allâh have mercy on him , “He used to say to us when we were youths, ‘Why do you not seek knowledge? Even though [today] you are the youngsters, you are about to be the elders [in the future]. What is the use of being a shaykh when the shaykh is ignorant? Four years before the death of ‘Â`ishah, I would say, if she died today, I would not feel regret about a single hadîth she had, for I had gathered them from her. I would hear that a Companion had a hadîth and would go to him. I might find that he was napping, so I would sit at his door and wait, and then ask him about it [later when he woke].’”
Al-Dhahabî, Siyar A’lâm Al-Nubalâ`, in his biography of ‘Urwah b. Al-Zubayr.
‘Urwah b. Al-Zubayr was the son of Al-Zubayr b. Al-‘Awâm and Asmâ bint Abî Bakr, and the nephew of Â`ishah – Allâh be pleased with them all. He studied under her and was regarded as one of the senior scholars of his time. He is one of the famous Seven Jurists.

Assalaamu 'alaykum,
please inform me more about the "famous Seven Jurists".
BârakAllahu fik.
Wa 'alaykumus salâm,
answer to myself, the famous Seven jurists of Madina are Abû Bakr Ibn `Abd Ar-Rahmân Ibn Al-Hârith Ibn Hishâm, Qâsim Ibn Muhammad Ibn Abî Bakr As-Siddîq, `Urwah Ibn Az-Zubayr Ibn Al-`Awwâm, Sa`îd Ibn Al-Musayyab, Sulaymân Ibn Yasâr, Khârijah Ibn Zayd and `Ubayd Allâh Ibn `Abd Allâh Ibn `Utbah Ibn Mas`ûd.
BârakAllahufîkum.
Hayyakallahu. It would be good if you could also mention in what sources these are named as the Seven Jurists.
Assalâmu 'alaykum,
I got this from a good knowledgeable brother who did not provide me the source though I shall ask him insha'llah if I happen to get in touch with him again.
BârakAllahufîkum.
A very important Nasseha to for our Muslim Youth today. I will definitely share it inshallah.
