Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Providing for the needs of a believer is better than one thousand fully-accepted pilgrimages, freeing a thousand slaves for God's sake, and donating one thousand fully-equipped horses in the way of God.” He also said: “Whoever sees his friend involved in an evil act and can but does not instruct him to stop doing so is treacherous to his friend. Whoever does not stop associating with a fool will soon become like him.”
قال الصادق (عليه السلام): قضاء حاجة المؤمن أفضل من ألف حجة متقبلة بمناسكها، وعتق ألف رقبة لوجه الله، وحملان ألف فرس في سبيل الله بسرجها ولجمها. وقال (عليه السلام): من رأى أخاه على أمر يكرهه ولم يردعه عنه وهو يقدر عليه فقد خانه، ومن لم يجتنب مصادقة الأحمق يوشك أن يتخلق بأخلاقه.
