Abdullah ibn San'an narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said
“Blessed be –Tooba- the one who is not known by the people, but he knows the people. And blessed be the one who physically associates with the people but does not wholeheartedly agrees with their deeds. The people have only known him on the surface, but he has known them deeply.”
عن عبد الله بن سنان عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
طوبى لعبد نومة عرف الناس، فصاحبهم ببدنه ولم يصاحبهم في أعمالهم بقلبه، فعرفوه في الظاهر وعرفهم في الباطن.
