قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَعْرِفَ أَصْحَابِي فَانْظُرْ إِلَى مَنِ اشْتَدَّ وَرَعُهُ وَ خَافَ خَالِقَهُ وَ رَجَا ثَوَابَهُ وَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَهَؤُلَاءِ أَصْحَابِي .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Salih Bin Al Sindy, from Ja’far Bin Bashir, from Al Mufazzal Bin Umar who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Whenever you want to recognise my<sup>asws</sup> companions, so look at the one who is of most intense piety and fearing his Creator, and wishes for His<sup>azwj</sup> Rewards, and when you see them, so they are my<sup>asws</sup> companions’.
