4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from Isma‘il ibn Mehran from Muhammad ibn Hafs from abu al-Rabi’ al-Shamiy who has said the following: “Once we were in the presence of abu ‘Abd Allah , when the house was full of people. He (the Imam) said, ‘One whose behavior toward his companion, comrade, tablemate and associate is not proper, is not of our people.’”
