Moavieh ibn Vahab narrated that he once asked Imam Sadiq (a.s)
“What is the proper way for us to treat and associate with our tribes and people who are not Shiites?” Imam Sadiq (a.s) replied: “Look at the way your leaders lived and follow them as examples. Treat others as they did. I swear by God that your leaders visit the ill, attend burial ceremonies, witness for or against them, and return the things with which they have been entrusted.”
عن معاوية بن وهب قال
قلت لأبي عبد الله (عليه السلام): كيف نصنع فيما بيننا وبين قومنا، وفيما بيننا وبين خلطائنا ممن ليس هو على إثرنا؟ قال: تنظرون أئمتكم الذين تقتدون بهم فتصنعون كمثل ما يصنعون، فوالله إنهم ليعودون مرضاهم، ويشهدون جنائزهم، ويقيمون الشهادة لهم وعليهم، ويؤدون الأمانة إليهم.
