لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يُحْسِنْ صُحْبَةَ مَنْ صَحِبَهُ وَ مُرَافَقَةَ مَنْ رَافَقَهُ وَ مُمَالَحَةَ مَنْ مَالَحَهُ وَ مُخَالَقَةَ مَنْ خَالَقَهُ[2].
"We were with Abu Abdullah (as), and the house was crowded with people.

وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ مَنْ خَالَطْتَ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ يَكُونَ يَدُكَ الْعُلْيَا عَلَيْهِ[1] فَافْعَلْ.
"Whoever you associate with, if you are able to ensure that your hand is above theirs (in generosity and giving), then do so."
