6ـ قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ حُبُّ الأبْرَارِ لِلأبْرَارِ ثَوَابٌ لِلأبْرَارِ وَحُبُّ الْفُجَّارِ لِلأبْرَارِ فَضِيلَةٌ لِلأبْرَارِ وَبُغْضُ الْفُجَّارِ لِلأبْرَارِ زَيْنٌ لِلأبْرَارِ وَبُغْضُ الأبْرَارِ لِلْفُجَّارِ خِزْيٌ عَلَى الْفُجَّارِ.

6. He has also said, ‘I heard Abu ‘Abdillah saying: “The virtuous ones’ love of other virtuous ones is a rewarding deed for them. Indecent ones loving the virtuous ones is a credit for the virtuous ones. Indecent ones’ hating the virtuous ones beautifies the virtuous ones. Virtuous one’s hating the indecent ones is a loss to the indecent ones.”
