hadith 301

Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of Rabiat ibn Najed that

he heard Imam Ali (a.s) say: “Our followers are like bees which live among birds. None of the birds recognize the bees because of their small size, and weakness. They would not treat them this way if they realized that these very small bees can carry honey which is very valuable in their stomachs.” 1 handed down to the Shiites.

عنه (عليه السلام) عن ربيعة بن ناجد قال

سمعت عليا (عليه السلام) يقول: إنما مثل شيعتنا مثل النحلة في الطير، ليس شي من الطير إلا وهو يستضعفها، فلو أن الطير تعلم ما في أجوافها من البركة لم تفعل بها ذلك.
