Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Love for your Muslim brother the same things that you love for yourself. Dislike for him what you dislike for yourself. Ask him for help whenever you need any help, and help him whenever he asks you for help. Do not hesitate to do anything that you can do for him. Also he should not hesitate to help you whenever he can. Be his supporter since he is your supporter. Guard his belongings when he goes away, and go to visit him when he returns. Then respect and honor him since you belong to each other. Thank God if he receives something that is good, and help him if he gets into trouble. If someone insults his believing brother, their spiritual friendship will end, and your faith will disappear just as salt dissolves in water and disappears.”
وقال (عليه السلام): أحب للمسلم ما تحب لنفسك وأكره له ما تكرهه لنفسك، وإذا احتجت فسله، وإذا سألك فاعطه، ولا تمله خيرا ولا يمله لك، وكن له ظهيرا فإنه لك ظهير، وإذا غاب فاحفظه في غيبته، وإذا شهد فزره، وأكرمه وأجله فإنه منك وأنت منه، وإن أصابه خير فاحمد الله، وإن ابتلي فاعضده وتمحل له وأعنه، وإذا قال الرجل لأخيه " أف " فقد انقطع ما بينهما من الولاية، فإن أهنته انماث الإيمان في قلبك كما ينماث الملح في الماء.
