Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “Do not take any intimate friend but God. Are you not believers? In fact any tools, relations, relatives, intimate friends, innovations, traditions, or doubts are useless just like dust on a finished surface which is washed off easily with rain, except for what the Quran has proved.”
قال الباقر (عليه السلام): لا تتخذوا من دون الله وليجة أفلا تكونوا مؤمنين؟ فإن كل سبب ونسب وقرابة ووليجة وبدعة وسنة وشبهة منقطع مضمحل كما يضمحل الغبار الذي يكون على الحجر الصلد إذا أصابه المطر الجود إلا ما أثبته القرآن.
