And it is reported as well by Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Saqafi in Kitab Al Gharaat, from Yahya Bin Salih, from Al Waleed Bin Amro, from Abdul Rahman Bin Suleyman, ‘From Ja’far Bin Muhammad-asws: ‘Ali-asws sent a charities collector from Al-Kufa to its valleys. He-asws said: ‘Upon you, O servant of Allah-azwj, is to be with fear of Allah-azwj, and do not prefer your world over your Hereafter, and be a preserver of what you are being entrusted upon as a shepherd of the Rights of Allah-azwj until you come to a spring of the clan of so and so. When you arrive to them, then descend by their courtyard from without mingling in their houses. ’ – then he continued the Hadeeth approximate to what has passed up to his-asws words: ‘Closer to your rightful guidance. Allah-azwj is Looking at them and at you, and at your efforts, and your advice to the one who sent you, and you were sent regarding his needs, for Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj does not Look at a friend exerting himself for his Imam-asws with the obedience and the advice, except he would be with us among the lofty friends’’.
