Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) told the narrator, “Your cousin came to me like a mad Bedouin wearing torn clothes. He had worn a sheet over that and was carrying shoes in his hands. He told me that some people talk about you. I asked him whether he was not an Arab? He replied that he was indeed an Arab. I told him: Arabs do not hate Ali (a.s.) and perhaps you are among those who deny the cistern of Kauthar. Beware! If you reach Kauthar with this hatred, you will indeed die thirsty.”
