Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Our Shiites are three groups of people: real friends of ours who are really from us; those who use us and their association with us to preserve their honor; and those who use us to earn a living. Whoever uses us to earn a living shall become poor.”
قال أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): الشيعة ثلاثة: محب واد فهو منا، ومتزين بنا ونحن زين لمن تزين بنا، ومستأكل بنا الناس ومن استأكل بنا افتقر.
