Hadith 37169
٣٧١٦٩ - حدثنا عبد اللَّه بن إدريس عن محمد بن عجلان عن إبراهيم عن محمد ابن شهاب قال: قال عمر: لا تعترض فيما لا يعنيك، واعتزل عدوك، ⦗٣٠٤⦘ و (احتفظ) (١) من خليلك (إلا) (٢) الأمين، فإن الأمين من القوم لا يعادله شيء، ولا تصحب الفاجر فيعلمك من فجوره، ولا تفش إليه سرك، واستشر في أمرك الذين يخشون اللَّه (٣).
It is narrated from Hazrat Muhammad bin Shihab that he says Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Do not involve yourselves in matters that do not concern you. And keep away from your enemy. And among your friends, choose only the trustworthy one as special. For among people, there is nothing like a trustworthy person. And do not keep the company of a wicked person, for he will teach you his wickedness. And do not disclose your secrets to him. And in your affairs, consult those who fear Allah Almighty.
