10-3 Ahmad ibn al-Hassan al-Qat’tan narrated that Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Sa’id al-Hamedany quoted Ali ibn al-Hassan ibn Faz’zal, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Marvan ibn Muslim, on the authority of Sabit ibn Abi Safiyeh, on the authority of Sa’ed al-Khifaf, on the authority of Al-Asbaq ibn Nobatat that the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (MGB) said,

“The wise men in the past said that going to and coming from doors of houses should be for one of ten reasons.1- To go to the door of the House of the Honorable the Exalted God to perform the Hajj pilgrimage; fulfill His right and do what He has made obligatory upon you.2- To go to the doors of the just kings obeying whom is an extension of obeying the Honorable the Exalted God. Their right is an obligatory right; their benefit may be great; and their loss may also be great.3- To go to the doors of the houses of wise men who can be used to gain religious knowledge.4- To go to the doors of the houses of the generous people who grant their possessions to gain a good reputation and hope to get rewarded in the Hereafter.5- To go to the doors of the houses of the unwise people whom you may need at times of disaster or seek refuge to when you need it.6- To go to the doors of the houses of the noble men to ask them for gifts, chivalry or the fulfillment of your needs.7- To go to the doors of the houses of those whose opinion is asked and are consulted with to reinforce alertness and request grants to fulfill needs.8- To go to the doors of the houses of religious brothers to associate with and visit the relations of kin to fulfill their rights.9- To go to the doors of the houses of the enemies whose wickedness will be fended off by treating them with patience, wisdom and kindness.10- To go to the doors of the houses of those from whose association and good manners we can benefit.”
