Statement of the Imam conveys the same meaning of another one quoted from the Apostle of Allah (s.a.w.), which says, .Do not be a naive imitator, saying 'I am with people. Should people do good works, so should I. And if they do evil, so do I; but train yourselves; if people do good works so you should do, but if they do evil, you have to avoid doing it.

All these quotes have been taken from Tuhaf al-Uqool, Chapter of What has been handed down from Imam Musa bin Ja'far." Historians say that al-Rasheed, after his death, left 100 million Dinars, and quantities of jewels and possessions which were worth more than that. He had 2000 slave girls, the price of one of them amounted to one and a half million Dirhams. Not only was al-Rasheed extravagant, but his wife, Zubaydah, was too. She misused the state funds and the people's wealth.

She had pearl-studded pairs of sandals.
