788 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا بُرَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَي، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ الصَّالِحِ، كَمَثَلِ الْعَطَّارِ، إِنْ لَمْ يَحْذِكَ مِنْ عِطْرِهِ عَلِقَ بِكَ مِنْ رِيحِهِ، وَمَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ السُّوءِ، كَمَثَلِ الْقَيْنِ، إِنْ لَمْ يَحْرِقَكَ بِشَرَرِهِ، عَلِقَ بِكَ مِنَ رِيحِهِ»
Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of a good companion is like that of a perfume seller; even if he does not give you his perfume, its fragrance will still reach you. And the example of a bad companion is like that of a blacksmith; even if he does not burn you with his sparks, his bad smell will still reach you."
