Abi Basir narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said
“I order you to avoid the riff-raff.” He was asked who the riff-raff were. He replied: “The riff-raff are the ones who do not fear God. My followers guard their honor and watch what they eat. They serve the people for the sake of the Creator. Then whenever you see such people, know that they are my followers.”
عن أبي بصير، قال
أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): إياك والسفلة من الناس، قلت: جعلت فداك وما السفلة؟ قال: من لا يخاف الله، إنما شيعة جعفر من عف بطنه وفرجه وعمل لخالقه، وإذا رأيت أولئك فهم أصحاب جعفر.
