Muhammad ibn Soleiman narrated that Ishaq ibn Am'mar said that when he got rich he hired someone to stand in front of his house and push away the poor Shiites who came to his door. When he went to Mecca to see Imam Sadiq (a.s) and greeted the Imam (a.s). The Imam (a.s) looked upset, turned his face away and greeted back. Then he expressed his sincerity and asked the Imam (a.s) for the reason for the change in his behavior. The Imam (a.s) asked him the reason for the change in the way he treated the believers. He said
“I swear by God that I know that they are religious, but I was afraid that I would become famous (if I treated the Shiites kindly.)” Then Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “O' Ishaq! Do you know that whenever two believers meet each other and shake hands, God will send down one hundred blessings for them. Ninety-nine blessings are for the one who likes the other one more. And whenever they hug each other, God's Mercy will encompass them both.”
عن محمد بن سليمان عن إسحاق بن عمار قال
لما كثر مالي أجلست على بابي بوابا يرد عنى فقراء الشيعة، فخرجت إلى مكة في تلك السنة فدخلت على أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) فسلمت عليه، فرد علي بوجه قاطب مزورا، فقلت له: جعلت فداك ما الذي غير لي حالي عندك؟ قال: الذي غيرك للمؤمنين، قلت: جعلت فداك والله إني لأعلم أنهم على دين الله ولكني خشيت الشهرة على نفسي، قال: يا إسحاق، أما علمت أن المؤمنين إذا التقيا فتصافحا أنزل الله بينهما مائة رحمة، تسع وتسعون منها لأشدهما حبا لصاحبه، فإذا اعتنقا غمرتهما الرحمة.
