The features of Imām Alī (pbuh)’s Shiite

The present era is the type that includes communications, information, speeches, conferences, thesis, and expressing contents in various forms.

Sometimes, we get so busy with writing or talking that we don’t care about behaving and activities according to our words! Many times, our activities are against our words!

*On the contrary, the most important feature of the people who look forward to the Emergence is that their behaviors are confirmed/ in accord with their words.

There is an astounding narration by Imām Kādhim (pbuh), which is as follows:

If I investigate among my Shiites, I see that they only claim to act! And if I test them, they will turn to commit heresy (disbelief)!

If I purify them, there will be just one pure and honest among one thousands! Also, if I sift the people, just my special ones and family members will be around me!

Many people lean on the Arabic traditional backrest [they relax], and express, ‘we are Alī (pbuh)’s Shiites!’ [In fact,] Alī (pbuh)’s Shiite is the one whose behaviors and activities proves their “being Shiites”.
