Answer:ย 

Mu’awiyah Ibn Wahb reported that Imam As-Sadiq (a.) said: ,,The followers are three: an attached lover and this one is from us and the one, who is adorned by us and we serve as adornment to him, who has been adorned by us and the one, who exploits through us from the people and the one who exploits through us, has become miserable.” [Al-Khisal of As-Saduq, page 103 Hadith 61]

Al-Husain (a.) reported that Imam Ali (a.) said: ,,I expressed my discontent to Prophet Muhammad (s.) for the one who was envious of me. So he said: ,,O Ali, are you not satisfied that the first four people to enter Paradise are you and me? Our descendants are behind us, and our followers (Shi’ah) follow us on our right and left sides.”ย [Al-Khisal of As-Saduq, page 254 Hadith 128]

Zain-ul-Abidin (a.) reported that Imam Al-Hasan (a.) said: ,,Ali (a.) was on the roof with his servant, Nawf Ash-Shami, and said: ,,O Nawf, (are you) a staring person or an attentive one?” He said: ,,An attentive staring person who is staring at you, o commander of the believers!” He said: ,,O Nawf, do you know who my followers are?” Nawf said: ,,No, by God.” The Commander of the Believers (a.) said: ,,My followers are those, who have dry lips and empty bellies. They are those, whom when you look at their faces, they reject the worldly and devote themselves to worship. They are ascetics in the night and lions in the day.”ย [Mawsu’at Ahadith Ahl Al-Bait by Hadi An-Najafi, Vol. 11 Page 241 Hadith 6]

Al-Hasan Al-Askari (a.) reported that a man spoke to Imam Al-Hasan (a.): ,,O Son of the Messenger of God, I belong to your followers!” He said: ,,O Abdullah, if you are obedient to us with regards to our commands and prohibitions, then you will find yourself being confirmed, but if you act contrary to them, then do not add anything to your sins by ascribing to yourself an honoured rank, to which you do not belong to. Do not say: ,,I belong to your followers (Shi’ah)!” But say: ,,I belong to your admirers and lovers and an enemy of your enemies!” Then you are in the good and move towards the good.” [Tafsir Al-Askari, page 308 – 309 Hadith 153]

Jabir reported that Imam Al-Baqir (a.) said: ,,O Jabir, is it sufficient, for those who claim to be our followers, to profess (only) with their lips that they love the people of the house? By God, no one is our follower except the one who fears God and obeys Him. O Jabir, they are recognized by nothing other than their modesty, devotion, the return of the entrusted property, the frequent remembrance of God, fasting, prayer and goodness towards the custodians.” [Mawsu’at Ahadith Ahl Al-Bait by Hadi An-Najafi, Volume 1 Page 282 Hadith 3]

Mufaddal reported that Imam As-Sadiq (a.) said: ,,The followers of Ali (a.) are those who keep their stomachs and their shame chaste and pure and increase in their efforts.

Ibn Abi Najran reported that Imam Ar-Rida (a.) said: ,,He who opposes our followers has opposed us and he who is close to them is close to us, for they were created by us and from our clay. He that loved them is from us, and he that hated them is not from us. Our followers look through the light of God and are received into the mercy of God, and they are the successful ones through the glory of God. None of our followers get sick without us getting sick and none of our followers get sad without us getting sad and none of our followers are happy without us being happy. None of our followers are hidden from us, whether in the east or the west of the earth. Whoever leaves a debt to one of our followers he does so to us and whoever leaves the property to one of them, he is his heir. Our followers are those, who do the prayer, pay the alms, make their pilgrimage to the Holy House, fast in the month of Ramadan, who are close to the people of the House and who distance themselves from their enemies. These are the people of faith and piety. These are the people of righteousness and fear of God. He who rejected them rejected God, and he who fought them fought me, for they are the true servants of God and His true loved ones. By God, one of them intercedes for the number of sons of Rabi’ah and Mudar, and since God honors them, God grants them his leading speech.“ [Sifat-ush-Shi’ah of As-Saduq, page 3-4]

[2.] The false followers and the most miserable:

Muhammad Ibn Husain reported that Imam Ali (a.) said: ,,I praise Allah for His destiny, which He has decreed and (for what) He has predestined in deeds, for my testing with you, whom are a group that disobeys when I order something, and who do not answer when I call. When you are left alone, you pretend to enter the War, but when you are confronted with war, you fall into weakness. When men unite around an Imam, you abuse them, and when you are afflicted with hardship, you retreat. Woe to you! What are you waiting for to help yourselves and fight for your rights?There is death or humiliation for you. By Allah, when my Day (of my death) comes – and it will certainly come – it will separate me from you, and I am tired of your company, and i feel with you as with little helpers (even if you are with many). May Allah deal with you! Is there no religion that could unite you, or eagerness that could sharpen you? Is it not strange, that Muawiya calls the people rough and harshly and they (still) follow him, without him giving them enough resources and material, while I call you, while you are the followers of Islam and the (worthy) survivors – with means and distributed material, you then scatter from me and resist me? Truly there is nothing of me, that comes to you with which I am content, with which you are also content, or nothing with which I am enraged and with which you are united against. Truly, the one who is most dear to me to meet him is death! I have already taught you the Book, and have established for you the arguments, I have made known to you that which you denied (before), and have made pleasant to you that which you spat out (the Trunk of Truth). Even a blind man would have noticed it, or a sleeping man would have woken up. How close are their leaders to the people in their ignorance about Allah, and their teacher, Ibn-un-Nabighah.“[Nahj-ul-Balaghah by Ash-Sharif Ar-Radi, Volume 2 Pages 100-101]

Muhammad Ibn Husain reported that Imam Ali (a.) said: ,,How long should I treat you with consideration, like a young camel is treated with a hollow hump or like worn rags which, when mended on one side, tear (again) on the other. Every time any troop of Syrians shows up, every man of you closes his door and hides like a lizard hiding in its hole or like a hyena in its burrow. By Allah, the one whom you support is the humiliated one! And whoever of you is being fired upon will be fired upon with arrows without head and point. By Allah, in the courtyards you are numerous, but under the banners you are few. Verily I know what can correct you and straighten out your crookedness. But I do not see your improvement in the ruin of myself. May Allah cover your faces with shame and diminish your share (in happiness)! You do not know the Truth, as you know the False, and you do not reject the False, as you reject the Truth.” [Nahj-ul-Balaghah of Ash-Sharif Ar-Radi, Volume 1, page 117 – 118 Sermon No. 69]

Zaid Al-Juhani reported that he came to Imam Al-Hasan (a.) when he was attacked and wounded and said: ,,O Son of the Messenger of God, what did you see? People are confused.” Imam Al-Hasan (a.) said: “By God, I see that Mu’awiyah is better for me than these people who claim to be my followers. They tried to kill me, they snatched my valuables and confiscated my property. By God, making an agreement with Mu’awiyah that protects my blood and that keeps my people safe is better than them killing me and that the people of my house and my people lose me. By God, if I were to fight against Mu’awiyah, then they would catch me by the neck without resistance until I was delivered to him.” [Al-Ihtijaj by Abu Mansur At-Tabarsi, Volume 2 Page 10]

Salam Ibn Sa’id reported that Aslam, the servant of Muhammad Ibnu l-Hanafiyyah (a.), said: ,,I sat with Abu Ja’far Al-Baqir (a.) and leaned my back against the source of Zamzam. Muhammad Ibn Abdillah Ibn Hasan stopped by and walked around the house. Imam Al-Baqir (a.) said: “O Aslam, do you know this young man?” I answered, “Yes, this is Muhammad Ibn Abdillah Ibn Hasan.” He said: “He will go out and be killed in a devastated condition. O Aslam, do not tell anyone of this tradition, for it is your entrusted good! But I reported it to Ma’ruf Ibn Kharbudh and I took from him the promise which was taken from me. Then we were at noon with Imam Al-Baqir (a.) and at night four of the inhabitants of Mecca were present. Ma’ruf then asked him about this tradition and said: “Tell me about this tradition that he had told me! I would like to hear it from yourself.” He said: “I looked at Aslam and Aslam told him: “My life be sacrificed to you, I took from him the promise which you had took from me.” Imam Al-Baqir (a.) said: “If all these people were our followers, three quarters of them would be in doubt about us and the other quarter would be mindless.”ย [Ikhtiyar Ma’rifat Ar-Rijal of At-Tusi; Volume 2, page 459 Hadith 359]

Musa Al-Wasiti reported that Imam Al-Kazim (a.) said: ,,If I were to describe my followers, I would find them only as talkers, and if I were to test them, I would find them only as apostates, and if I were to examine them, only one in a thousand of them would exist, and if I were to sort them out, none would remain except the one that belongs to me. They lean on resting mats and say: We are the followers of Ali. But a follower of Ali (a.) confirms his word by his deeds.” [Al-Kafi of Al-Kulaini, Vol. 8 Page 228 Hadith 290]
