He who settels the need of his friend is regarded as same as those whose blood was shed in the battles of Badr and Uhud for God's sake . God did not punish a nation before they had disregarded the rights of the poor among them. O son of Jundab, inform our Shias -adherents- not to be highly tranquil. Pursuance to our leadership is not obtained without piety, painstakingness, and consoling the brothers for God's sake. He whoever oppresses people is not within our adherents.

O son of Jundab, the characters of our Shias are many: they are generosity, openhandedness with the friends, and offering fifty rak'as in day and night (seventeen rak'as of the obligatory prayers and thirty-three rak'as of the nafilas). Our Shias neither shout like dogs nor are they avaricious like crows. They never lodge next to our enemies and never beg him who hates us even if they starve.

Our Shias never have the meat of eel and never pass their hands over their slipper during the ritual ablution. They keep up the offering of the Dhuhr -midday- Prayer and do not drink any intoxicant. (Abdullah bin Jundab related) I asked, "God make me your sacrifice, where can I find such Shias?" Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) answered: You will find them on the summits of mountains and in outskirts.

Whenever you are in a city, you will know the faithful by asking about the one whom the people of the city do not neighbor nor does he neighbor them. That is the faithful believer. This is in the Holy Quran. God says: "A man came running from the farthest part of the city." That was Habib the carpenter. He was the only faithful believer. O son of Jundab, all sins are forgivable except mistreating the people of your sect. Every charity is acceptable except that which is done for showing off.

O son of Jundab, love (others) for God's sake. Cling to the firmest handle. Stick on the guidance so that your deeds will be accepted. God says: I am All-forgiving to the righteously striving believers who repent and follow the right guidance. Hence, nothing except faith will be accepted, no faith without deed, no deed without conviction, and no conviction without submission. The master of all these is guidance.

The deeds of him who follows the right guidance will be accepted and ascended to the Divine Realm. God guides to the right path whomever He wants.
