Abi al-Samet al-Kholani narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said that once he was with his father and they were passing by some Shiites who were in between the grave and the pulpit. He asked his father if they were his followers. His father asked him where they were. When he told him where they were, his father suggested to go and talk to them. Then they went to see the people and his father greeted them and said
“I like your good smell and your breath. Please help me with your piety and struggle in worshipping since there is no other way to reach God. I swear by God that you have the same religion that I have, my fathers, and my grandfather had, i.e. the religion of Abraham, Ishmael and Issac.”
عن أبي الصامت الخولاني عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
مررت أنا وأبي على الشيعة وهم ما بين القبر والمنبر، فقلت لأبي جعفر (عليه السلام): مواليك جعلني الله فداك، قال: وأين تراهم؟ فقلت: أراهم ما بين القبر والمنبر، فقال: اذهب بي إليهم، فذهبنا فسلم عليهم، ثم قال: إني لأحب ريحكم وأرواحكم فأعينوني على ما أنتم عليه بالورع والاجتهاد، فإنه لا ينال ما عند الله إلا بالورع والاجتهاد، والله إنكم على ديني ودين آبائي إبراهيم وإسماعيل وإسحاق.
