Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Whoever loves us and does not have a shameful background is one of the especial servants of God.” The people asked him: “What do you mean by not having a shameful background?” Then Imam Sadiq (a.s) replied: “I mean being born legitimately.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
من كان يحبنا وهو في موضع لا يشينه فهو من خالص الله، قلت: وما هذا الموضع الذي لا يشينه؟ قال: لا يرمى في مولده.
