Imam Hussain stated: Brothers are of four types: 1. One who wants brotherhood for you and for himself the same. This is the one who is expecting no end for this brotherhood; because if his brother reaches to some prosperity, their living, both, will be prospered and if his brother comes across problems, their living, both, will be difficult. 2. The one who wants brotherhood only for you. This is the man who draws himself out of greed and likes your prosperity and he is not after blessings or prosperities of the world. This kind of brother will donate you whatever he possesses. 3. The one who wants to harm you. This is the brother who will let out your secrets, and will besmirch you and he is jealous toward you. Oh, God’s curse to him! 4. The one who doesn’t like brotherhood not for you not for himself. This is one whom God fills him with ignorance (Jahl) and he is far from God’s blessings. You find him preferring himself over you and he desperately desires the things you possess. Tuhaf al-Ughul, p.247 Newer Items:
