Amr ibn Aban narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said
“O' You! The followers who are associated with us! Be a source of honor for us, not a source of infamy. Why can you not live among the people as Imam Ali's (a.s) companions did? Each one of them was the leader of the people and the one who called them to prayer where he lived. He was trustworthy and guarded their properties. Please visit the ill, participate in burial ceremonies, and pray in the mosques. Do not let others surpass you in performing good deeds. I swear by God that you are not superior to them in this regard.” He then looked at Amr ibn Aban who was the youngest man present and said: “You who are the younger people should not be lazy. Go to visit them so often that they start to become your followers. Know that God is better for you than them.”
عن عمر بن أبان قال
سمعت أبا عبد الله (عليه السلام) يقول: يا معشر الشيعة إنكم قد نسبتم إلينا، كونوا لنا زينا ولا تكونوا علينا شينا، ما يمنعكم أن تكونوا مثل أصحاب علي - رضوان الله عليه - في الناس، وإن كان الرجل منهم ليكون في القبيلة فيكون إمامهم ومؤذنهم، وصاحب أماناتهم وودائعهم، عودوا مرضاهم واشهدوا جنائزهم، صلوا في مساجدهم، ولا يسبقوكم إلى خير، فأنتم والله أحق منهم به، ثم التفت نحوي وكنت أحدث القوم سنا فقال: أنتم يا معشر الأحداث إياكم والوسادة! عودوهم حتى يصيروا أذنابا والله خير لكم منهم.
