عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ الْبَختَرِيِّ قَالَ:
كُنتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ [علَيْهِ السَّلامُ] وَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لِي: «تُحِبُّهُ؟» فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لِي: «وَلم لَا تُحِبُّهُ وَهُوَ أَخُوكَ وَشَرِيكُكَ فِي دِينِكَ وَعَوْنُكَ عَلَى عَدُوِّكَ وَرِزْقُهُ عَلَى غَيْرِكَ!».

Hafş ibn al-Bakhtarī said:
"I was in the presence of Abū 'Abdillah ('a.s) when a man entered. He ['a.s.] said to me: 'Do you like him? I said: 'Yes.' He ['a.s.] said to me: 'Why shouldn't you like him when he is your brother, a partner in your religion, your helper against your enemy, and his sustenance is upon someone else.!'"
