Imam being presented with deeds of his companions

 (Al-Amali by Shaykh al-Tusi, page 413) 


“Narrated Dawud ibn Kathir al-Ruqi: 


I was sitting with Abi Abdilah [al-Sadiq] (as), wherein he began by telling me on his own accord: 


‘O Dawud, your [i.e, the Shi’a] deeds have been presented to me on Thursday. So I have seen in what was presented on to me your deed which involved honoring familial relation with the son of your uncle Fulan - and that pleased me. 


Indeed, I know of your honoring of uour familial relationship with him is of quick pace [as should be], because of his old age and upcoming death.’ 


Dawud then said: ‘And I had a defiantly disobedient, wretched nasibi son of my uncle. It had been reported to me that he and his children are of bad character. So I took out a charity [dedicated to them] before I left for Mecca. So when I came back to Medina, Abi Abdilah [al-Sadiq] informed me of [what I had done].’
