Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every person has three friends. One friend says: Whatever you spend is yours, and whatever you do not spend will not be yours; that is the man's wealth. Another friend says: I am with you, but when you come to the door of the King, I will leave you and go back; that is the man's family. And another friend says: I will be with you when you go in and when you come out; that is the man's deeds. Then the man says: Of the three, you were the one I valued least."
Al-Bazzar recorded it, and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. The narrators of both are the narrators of the Sahih, except Imran al-Qattan; he has been declared trustworthy, though there is disagreement about him.
