أَبِي رَحِمَهُ اَللَّهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي اَلْمِقْدَامِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع إِنَّهُ قَالَ : شِيعَةُ عَلِيٍّ ع اَلشَّاحِبُونَ اَلنَّاحِلُونَ اَلذَّابِلُونَ ذبلة ذَابِلَةٌ شِفَاهُهُمْ خَمِيصَةٌ بُطُونُهُمْ مُتَغَيِّرَةٌ أَلْوَانُهُمْ.

Translation

My father, Allah may have mercy upon him, narrated to us from Ahmed bin Idris from Mohammed bin Ahmed from Mohammed bin Easa from Abu Mohammed al-Ansari from Amr bin Abi al-Miqdam from his father that Abu Ja’far (a) said to him: O Abu al-Miqdam, the Shia of Ali (a) are the pale, the thin, and the emaciated. Their lips are dry, their stomachs are atrophied, and their colors are faded.
