Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “Ali's followers look pale, slim, and thirsty. Their lips are dry. Their color is changing. Their face is yellow. At night they sleep on the ground, and prostrate on dirt. They prostrate a lot, shed tears and pray often. The people are happy but they are sad.”
قال أبو جعفر (عليه السلام): إنما شيعة علي الشاحبون الناحلون الذابلون، ذابلة شفاههم، خميصة بطونهم، متغيرة ألوانهم، مصفرة وجوههم، إذا جن الليل اتخذوا الأرض فراشا واستقبلوا الأرض بجباههم، كثير سجودهم، كثيرة دموعهم، كثير دعاؤهم، كثير بكاؤهم، يفرح الناس وهم محزونون.
