In Kafi , in a correct tradition from Imam Muhammad Baqir (as) it is mentioned that he said: By Allah, the best of my companions in my view are those who the most pious, most thoughtful and the most secretive (from our opponents about our traditions) and the worst of them are those, who are such that when something is narrated from us and attributed to us they don’t accept it; and also denies that which he has; although he doesn’t know that this tradition has come from us and is attributed to us; and as a result of this denial he goes out of our Wilayat.[^10] In Basairud Darajat , through the author’s own chain of narrators it is narrated from His Eminence, Abu Abdullah Imam Sadiq (as) that he said: Deal with the people according to what they recognize and leave what they deny; and don’t put yourself and us in difficulty.

His Eminence (aj) said: By Allah, if Abu Zar knew what was in the heart of Salman, he would have killed him,
