ا قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) اخْتَبِرُوا إِخْوَانَكُمْ بِخَصْلَتَيْنِ فَإِنْ كَانَتَا فِيهِمْ وَ إِلَّا فَاعْزُبْ ثُمَّ اعْزُبْ ثُمَّ اعْزُبْ مُحَافَظَةٍ عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ فِي مَوَاقِيتِهَا وَ الْبِرِّ بِالْإِخْوَانِ فِي الْعُسْرِ وَ الْيُسْرِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Umar Bin Abdul Aziz, from Moalla Bin Khunays, and Usman Bin Suleyman Al Nakhhas, from Mufazzal Bin Umar and Yunus Bin Zabyan who both said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Choose your brethren by two characteristics. So if these were both in them (fine), or else, turn away, then be distant, then be distant – preservation upon the <span class="iTxt">Salat</span> in its Prescribed timings, and the righteousness with the brethren in the (financial) difficulties and the affluence’.
