True Friends

"A friend cannot be considered a friend until he is tested in three occasions: in a time of need, behind your back, and after your death." - Ali (ra)

Judging by this quote, how many true friends do we really have? How many friends would really help us in a time of genuine need? When we aren't present, do our friends speak good of us, or do they say things about us that they wouldn't want us to hear? And of course, would our friends remember us and make Dua for us after we die? Nowadays, true friends are hard to find.

But, even if we don't have many true friends, nothing should stop us from being true friends for others.
