Abi Basir narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said
“There are three groups of people. One group is our followers who belong to our nation. We belong to them, too. The second group use their association with us to show off, and the third group make a living off of us.”
عن أبي بصير عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
الناس طبقات ثلاث: طبقة منا ونحن منهم، وطبقة يتزينون بنا، طبقة يأكل بعضهم بعضا بنا.
