hadith 16
Al-Hasan bin Ahmed from his father that Abdullah bin Jibilla al-Kinani related: A fish was hanging down my hand when I met Abu al-Hasan Musa bin Ja’far (a). He asked me to throw that fish and said
I do not like for the noble men to carry cheap things themselves. He then added: O Shia, your enemies are numerous. All people antagonized you. Hence, you should keep good appearances before them as much as possible.
حَدَّثَنِي اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ اَلْكِنَانِيِّ قَالَ
اِسْتَقْبَلَنِي أَبُو اَلْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ع وَ قَدْ عَلَّقْتُ سَمَكَةً بِيَدِي قَالَ اِقْذِفْهَا إِنِّي لَأَكْرَهُ لِلرَّجُلِ‌[اَلسَّرِيِ‌] أَنْ يَحْمِلَ اَلشَّيْ‌ءَ اَلدَّنِيَّ بِنَفْسِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ع إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ أَعْدَاؤُكُمْ كَثِيرٌ يَا مَعْشَرَ اَلشِّيعَةِ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادَاكُمُ اَلْخَلْقُ فَتَزَيَّنُوا لَهُمْ مَا قَدَرْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ .

hadith 1063
My father (ra) narrated to us. He said: Al-Husayn b. Musa narrated to us from Muhammad b. al-Hasan al-Saffar. Al-Husayn did not memorize the isnad. He said
Luqman said to his son: O son! Take one thousand friends for yourself, for one thousand is few; and do not take one enemy for yourself, for one is too many. Amir al-Mu’minin (as) said: Increase in brethren as much as you can, They are pillars and backs if you seek their help, One thousand friends and companions is not many, But one enemy is too many.
6 - حدثنا أبي (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثنا الحسين (5) بن موسى، عن محمد ابن الحسن الصفار، ولم يحفظ الحسين الاسناد، قال
قال لقمان لابنه: يا بني اتخذ ألف صديق، وألف قليل، ولا تتخذ عدوا واحدا، والواحد كثير، فقال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): تكثر من الاخوان ما اسطعت إنهم * * عماد إذا ما استنجدوا وظهور وليس كثيرا ألف خل وصاحب * * وإن عدوا واحدا لكثير (6)
