Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “God's Prophet ran into a group of camel riders during one of his trips. They greeted him and he asked them who they where. They said they were believers. The Prophet (a.s) asked them about the truth of their faith. They replied: “Contentment with what God has destined, entrusting themselves to God, and submitting to God's orders.” Then God's Prophet (a.s) said: “These are wise and knowledgeable people with such a high rank, near that of the Prophets.” Then he faced them and said: “If you are truthful, do not build what you shall not reside in; do not collect what you shall not eat; and fear God to Whom you shall return.”
وعن الباقر (عليه السلام) قال
لقى رسول الله في بعض أسفاره ركب، فقالوا: السلام عليك يا رسول الله، فقال: من أنتم؟ قالوا: نحن مؤمنون يا رسول الله، قال: قال: فما حقيقة إيمانكم؟ قالوا الرضى بقضاء الله، والتفويض إلى الله، والتسليم لأمر الله، فقال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): علماء و حكماء كادوا أن يكونوا من الحكمة أنبياء، فإن كنتم صادقين فلا تبنوا ما لا تسكنون، ولا تجمعوا ما لا تأكلون، واتقوا الذي إليه ترجعون.
