Hadiths Of Those Unworthy of Friendship

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

احْذَرْ مِنَ النَّاسِ ثَلَاثَةً الْخَائِنَ وَ الظَّلُومَ وَ النَّمَّامَ لِأَنَّ مَنْ خَانَ لَكَ خَانَكَ وَ مَنْ ظَلَمَ لَكَ سَيَظْلِمُكَ وَ مَنْ نَمَّ إِلَيْكَ سَيَنُمُّ عَلَيْك .‏

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Stay away from three types of people: a treacherous person, a wrong-doer, and a talebearer, because he who betrays in your favor will someday betray you, he who wrongs others for you will eventually wrong you, and he who informs you on others will someday inform against you.

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

لَايَنْبَغِي لِلْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ أَنْ يُوَاخِيَ الْفَاجِرَ؛ فَإِنَّهُ يُزَيِّنُ لَهُ فِعْلَهُ، وَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِثْلَهُ، وَ لَايُعِينُهُ عَلى‏ أَمْرِ دُنْيَاهُ وَ لَا أَمْرِ مَعَادِهِ؛ وَ مَدْخَلُهُ إِلَيْهِ وَ مَخْرَجُهُ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ شَيْنٌ عَلَيْهِ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

A Muslim must not associate in a brotherly manner with an immoral person, for such a person tends to decorate one's evil deeds for him and likes to render him just as immoral as he is; he will not help him in his worldly affairs or that of his hereafter, and his socializing with him will only bring disgrace to him.

مَنْ أَعَانَ عَلى‏ مُؤْمِنٍ بِشَطْرِ كَلِمَةٍ، لَقِيَ اللَّهَ- عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَكْتُوبٌ‏ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ: آيِسٌ مِنْ رَحْمَتِي‏.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

He who helps someone in wronging a believer even with a part of a word will meet Allah, Mighty and Exalted, on the Day of Resurrection with the following words written between his eyes: 'Doomed from the mercy of Allah.'

إِذَا اتَّهَمَ الْمُؤْمِنُ أَخَاهُ انْمَاثَ‏ الْإِيمَانُ مِنْ‏ قَلْبِهِ، كَمَا يَنْمَاثُ الْمِلْحُ فِي الْمَاءِ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

When a believer wrongfully accuses his fellow brother, his faith disappears from his heart like salt dissolves in water.

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

لمّا سُئلَ عن مَنزِلَةِ رجُلٍ إن حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ ، و إن وَعَدَ أخلَفَ ، و إن ائتُمِنَ خانَ ـ : هِي أدنَى المَنازِلِ مِن الكُفرِ و ليسَ بكافِرٍ .

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Imam al-Sadiq (AS), when asked about the status of a man who lies when he speaks, breaks promises when he makes them, and betrays trusts when entrusted with them, replied, 'This is the closest stage to disbelief but he is not to be considered a disbeliever.'
