Imam Baqir (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s) that the
Almighty God said: “The most delightful friend of Mine is one who is poor and has a simple life. He best performs his worshipping in private. He is known by the people, and is content with the minimum daily bread. He does not leave much inheritance behind, and only a few will cry over his death.”
عن الباقر (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): قال الله تعالى: إن من أغبط أوليائي عندي رجلا خفيف الحال ذا خطر، أحسن عبادة ربه في الغيب، وكان غامضا في الناس، جعل رزقه كفافا فصبر عليه، مات فقل تراثه وقل بواكيه.
