Salman ibn Ghanem narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) asked him: “How did you find the Shiites?” He said
“I found them needy, while difficulties came towards them faster than rain water flows towards the drain.” Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “God is the Helper. Are you pleased with your belief or do you prefer to be paid one hundred thousand Durhams instead?” He said: “I swear by God that I do not want it even if it is as much gold as the mountains of Mecca.” Who is more self-sufficient than you and your companions? None of you have anything to lose, even if you wander about and eat the leaves of the trees and plants until your death approaches.”
عن سلمان بن غانم قال
سألني أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): كيف تركت الشيعة؟ فقلت: تركت الحاجة فيهم والبلاء أسرع إليهم من الميزاب السريع في ماء المطر، فقال: الله المستعان، ثم قال: أيسرك الأمر الذي أنت عليه أم مائة ألف؟ قلت: لا والله ولا جبال تهامة ذهبا، فقال: من أغنى منك ومن أصحابك ما على أحدكم، ولو ساح في الأرض يأكل من ورق الشجر ونبت الأرض حتى يأتيه الموت.
