Imam Baqir (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s): “God the Almighty said
“The dearest one to me is one who lives a simple life (is not attached to worldly life); benefits from prayers and worships God in private lives among the people (and is not famous); is patient with a low amount of divinely-destined daily bread; and dies with few inheritors, and a few people to cry over his death.”
عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): قال الله عز وجل: إن من أغبط أوليائي عندي رجلا خفيف الحال ذا خطر، أحسن عبادة ربه في الغيب وكان غامضا في الناس، جعل رزقه كفافا فصبر عليه، مات فقل تراثه وقل بواكيه.
