Freedom and security are complete life
Al-Kāfi|Volume 8|Book 1|Chapter 292
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبَصْرِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ تَقْعُدُونَ فِي الْمَكَانِ فَتُحَدِّثُونَ وَ تَقُولُونَ مَا شِئْتُمْ وَ تَتَبَرَّءُونَ مِمَّنْ شِئْتُمْ وَ تَوَلَّوْنَ مَنْ شِئْتُمْ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ وَ هَلِ الْعَيْشُ إِلَّا هَكَذَا.
292. And by this chain, from Abaan Bin Usman, from Ismail Al-Basary who said: I heard Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام saying: ‘Can you all sit in a place where you can narrate Hadith, say whatsoever you like, and distance yourselves (Tabarra) from whoever you like, and befriend whosoever you like?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘Is (luxury of) life anything other than this?’
