Musnad of Anas bin Malik
Musnad Abi Ya'la 4295 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The example
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُبَيْلُ بْنُ عَزْرَةَ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَقَتَادَةُ عَلَى أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، فَحَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : مَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ الصَّالِحِ مَثَلُ الْعَطَّارِ ، إِنْ أَصَابَكَ مِنْهُ ، وَإِلَّا أَصَابَكَ مِنْ رِيحِهِ ، وَمَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ السَّوْءِ مَثَلُ الْقَيْنِ ، إِنْ أَصَابَكَ مِنْهُ ، وَإِلَّا أَصَابَكَ مِنْ دُخَانِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of a righteous companion is like that of a perfume seller: if something (of his perfume) reaches you, well and good; otherwise its fragrance will certainly reach you. And the example of an evil companion is like that of a blacksmith: if something (of his sparks or heat) reaches you (that is harmful); otherwise his smoke will certainly reach you."
