Imām Muhammad ibn ‘Alī al-Bāqir (A.S.) said: 

(to Jabir)

 "Is it enough for a person to (merely) embellish (oneself) as a Shi'ah (follower) by professing love of us, Ahlul-Bayt? Nay! By Allāh, a person is not our follower except the one who fears Allāh and obeys Him. O' Jabir! Our followers are not recognized save by humility; submission; honesty; praising Allāh abundantly; fasting and prayers; filial devotion; attending to the poor, needy, debtors, and orphans who live near him; saying the truth; reciting the Qur'an; withholding the tongue from people except for benediction; and being trustworthy for relatives in any affairs..."
