hadith 299

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Imam Ali's (a.s) followers are slim and their lips are dry due to frequent mentioning and praise of God in His remembrance.”

عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال

إن شيعة علي خمص البطون ذبل الشفاه من الذكر

hadith 300

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Indeed the companions of Imam Ali (a.s) were trustworthy and trusted by the tribes. The people were pleased with them. They used to stay up at night for worshipping, and were bright sources (of guidance) in the daytime.”

عنه (عليه السلام) قال

إن أصحاب علي كانوا المنظور إليهم في القبائل، وكانوا أصحاب الودائع، مرضيين عند الناس، سهار الليل، مصابيح النهار.

hadith 301

Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of Rabiat ibn Najed that

he heard Imam Ali (a.s) say: “Our followers are like bees which live among birds. None of the birds recognize the bees because of their small size, and weakness. They would not treat them this way if they realized that these very small bees can carry honey which is very valuable in their stomachs.” 1 handed down to the Shiites.

عنه (عليه السلام) عن ربيعة بن ناجد قال

سمعت عليا (عليه السلام) يقول: إنما مثل شيعتنا مثل النحلة في الطير، ليس شي من الطير إلا وهو يستضعفها، فلو أن الطير تعلم ما في أجوافها من البركة لم تفعل بها ذلك.
