Imam Reza (asws) narrates that Imam Zainul Abideen (asws) said,
“When you see a person who is pious in his appearance, who speaks politely, and his manner is like that of a momin, wait. Do not be deceived by his appearance because there are many people who cannot gain this world by their own strength. Therefore, they use the religion in order to gain their worldly desires. They deceive the people with their outward appearance. As soon as they obtain the power to gain haram wealth, they will jump after it.
If you see a person who avoids haram wealth, I warn you do not be in a hurry to form a good opinion of him. You should not be deceived by him because people have different kinds of desires. There are some people who avoid haram wealth, but lose their iman on a woman and commit a horrible crime like zina.
When you see a person who avoids zina (adultery), do not hurry to make an opinion about such a person. Protect yourself from his tricks. Check his level of intellect because sometimes a person avoids the bad deeds, but his level of intellect creates ignorance amongst the people. If his level of intellect appears to be perfect, still do not be quick to form an opinion about him because sometimes such people use their intellect to gain their worldly pleasures.
Until you see a person does not have a desire for ruling because there are some people who abandon this world in order to gain this world and they will be amongst the losers in the hereafter. They believe the wealth of this world is more attractive than the halal blessings of Allah. Yes! That person is the best person who does everything in the obedience of Allah and uses his full strength for the pleasure of Allah. Such a person believes associating with haq (truth) is the real honor and he does not gain worldly respect by associating himself with batil (falsehood). This is the best person. Associate yourself with him and follow his example. Gain the nearness of Allah through such person because Allah never rejects such a person’s dua.”
