Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted the following on the authority of Ameer al-Momineen (a.s)
“There are certain signs by which religious people can be recognized. These are truthfulness, trustworthiness, fulfilling one's promise, observing the relations of kin, being kind with the weak ones, and the subordinates, minimal sexual intercourse with women, doing good deeds, being good-tempered, using knowledge, and doing whatever helps man approach God. Blessed be such people. They shall prosper, and have a good place to return to.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
قال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): إن لأهل الدين علامات يعرفون بها: صدق الحديث، وأداء الأمانة، والوفاء بالعهد، وصلة الأرحام، ورحمة الضعفاء، وقلة مشابقة النساء - أو قال: وقلة مؤاتاة النساء - بذل المعروف، وحسن الخلق، والسعة، واتباع العلم، وما يقرب إلى الله زلفى، طوبى لهم وحسن مآب.
