3-175 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Muhammad ibn al-Hussein ibn Abil Khat’tab, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Isma’il ibn Bazi’a, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Azafer, on the authority of his father that Abi Ja’far al-Baqir (MGB) said,

“God’s Prophet ran into a group of camel- riders during one of his trips. They greeted him and he asked them who they were. They said they were believers. The Prophet (MGB) asked them about the truth of their faith. They replied, ‘Contentment with what God has destined, entrusting themselves to God, and submitting to God’s orders.’ Then God’s Prophet (MGB) said, ‘These are wise and knowledgeable people with such a high rank, near that of the Prophets.’ Then he (MGB) faced them and said, ‘If you are truthful, do not build what you shall not reside in; do not collect what you shall not eat; and fear God to Whom you shall return.’”
