إِنَّ شِيعَةَ عَلِيٍّ كَانُوا خُمْصَ الْبُطُونِ ذُبُلَ الشِّفَاهِ أَهْلَ رَأْفَةٍ وَ عِلْمٍ وَ حِلْمٍ يُعْرَفُونَ بِالرَّهْبَانِيَّةِ فَأَعِينُوا عَلَى مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِالْوَرَعِ وَ الِاجْتِهَادِ.
English translationMuhammad Sarwar
10. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn Mahbub from Ali ibn Ri’ab ibn abu Ya’fur from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Shi’a (followers) of Ali (a.s.) were of slim and lean bellies, and withered lips. They were people of compassion, knowledge, and forbearance. They were known as of monkish practice. You should assist each other in your cause with restraint from worldly attractions (sins) and be very hard working.”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar·Thaqalayn link·The Arabic above is the original.
