23ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ السِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَعْرِفَ أَصْحَابِي فَانْظُرْ إِلَى مَنِ اشْتَدَّ وَرَعُهُ وَخَافَ خَالِقَهُ وَرَجَا ثَوَابَهُ وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ هَؤُلاءِ فَهَؤُلاءِ أَصْحَابِي.
23. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Salih ibn al-Sindy from Ja’far ibn Bashir from al-Mufaddal ibn ‘Umar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام has said, ‘If you want to see my companions then look to those whose restraining from worldly attraction (sins) is intense, who fear their Creator in the hope for His rewards. If you find such people they are my companions.’”
