There are those who are our true friends. They are from us. There are those to whom we lend beauty, and lend beauty to us. And there are those who attach themselves to us to attain worldly gains. Whoever tries to attain worldly gains by attaching himself to us will get poor.â ØسÙØ© سÙدا - Shaykh Hadi al-Najafi (MawsÅ«Ê¿at AḥÄdÄ«th (1/197))
