Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as): O Jabir, does one who claims to be our shi'a think it suffices him to say that he loves us Ahl al-Bayt? By Allah, our Shi'a are only those who are wary of Allah and obey Him and are known for their humility and fear of Allah and trustworthiness and frequent remembrance of Allah and fasting and praying and goodness towards their parents and caring for their poor neighbors and the destitute and those in debt, and truthfulness and recitation of the Qur'an, and restraining their tongues from mentioning people except with goodness, and being trusted among their people with their possessions. al-Kāfī
