My father (ra) narrated to us. He said: Al-Husayn b. Musa narrated to us from Muhammad b. al-Hasan al-Saffar. Al-Husayn did not memorize the isnad. He said
Luqman said to his son: O son! Take one thousand friends for yourself, for one thousand is few; and do not take one enemy for yourself, for one is too many. Amir al-Mu’minin (as) said: Increase in brethren as much as you can, They are pillars and backs if you seek their help, One thousand friends and companions is not many, But one enemy is too many.
6 - حدثنا أبي (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثنا الحسين (5) بن موسى، عن محمد ابن الحسن الصفار، ولم يحفظ الحسين الاسناد، قال
قال لقمان لابنه: يا بني اتخذ ألف صديق، وألف قليل، ولا تتخذ عدوا واحدا، والواحد كثير، فقال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): تكثر من الاخوان ما اسطعت إنهم * * عماد إذا ما استنجدوا وظهور وليس كثيرا ألف خل وصاحب * * وإن عدوا واحدا لكثير (6)
