Description: Imam al-Sadiq (a.s.) said, ‘The speed of amity between the hearts of pious people when they meet – even if they do not show their mutual love on their tongues – is like the speed of the rain water when it mixes with the water of rivers. And the distance between the hearts of the wicked when they meet – even if they make a show of love on their tongues – is like the distance between beasts that cannot have mutual affection no matter how long they eat from the same trough.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنَّ سُرْعةَ ائْتِلاَفِ قُلُوبِ الأبْرَارِ إذا الْتَقَوا ـ وَإنْ لَمْ يُظهِرُوا التَّوَدُّدَ بأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ ـ كَسُرْعَةِ اخْتِلاَطِ ماءِ السَّمَاءِ بِماءِ الأنْهَارِ . وإنَّ بُعْدَ ائْتِلاَفِ قُلُوبِ الفُجَّارِ إذَا الْتَقَوا ـ وَإنْ أظْهَـرُوا التـَّوَدُّدَ بأَلْسِنَتِهِـمْ ـ كَبُعْـدِ البَهَـائِـمِ مِـنَ التَّعَاطُفِ وَإنْ طَالَ اعْتِلاَفُهَا عَلي مِذْوَدٍ واحِدٍ.
