Imam Reza (a.s) quoted on the authority of his noble grandfather (a.s): “A group of people went to visit God's Prophet (a.s) in one of the battles. The Prophet (a.s) asked them from which tribe they were. They told him that they were of the believers. He asked them about the degree of their faith. They replied: “We are patient during times of hardship, we are grateful during times of poverty, and we are content with what God has destined for us.” The Prophet (a.s) said
“Those people are so wise and knowledgeable that they are nearly in the position of Prophets.” Then he faced them and said: “Then if you are what you claim to be, do not build what you will not live in; do not collect what you will not eat; and fear God to whom is your return.”
عن الرضا عن آبائه (عليهم السلام) قال
رفع إلى رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) قوم في بعض غزواته فقال: من القوم؟ فقالوا: مؤمنون يا رسول الله، قال: وما بلغ من إيمانكم؟ قالوا: الصبر عند البلاء، والشكر عند الرخاء، والرضا بالقضاء، فقال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): حلماء علماء كادوا من الفقه أن يكونوا أنبياء، إن كنتم كما تصفون فلا تبنوا ما لا تسكنون، ولا تجمعوا ما لا تأكلون، واتقوا الله الذي إليه ترجعون.
