حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ حَيْوَةَ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ، حَدَّثَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، أَنَّ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ التُّجِيبِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ، قَالَ سَالِمٌ، أَوْ عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " لَا تُصَاحِبْ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنًا ، وَلَا يَأْكُلْ طَعَامَكَ إِلَّا تَقِيٌّ " , قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ إِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ .
´Abu Sa'eed narrated that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said:` "Do not accompany except a believer, and do not serve your food except to one with Taqwa."

Benefits and Issues:
➊ In Persian it is said: “The company of the righteous makes you righteous, the company of the wicked makes you wicked.” Through companionship and gatherings, a person adopts the habits and ways of his companion, and gradually love for him settles in the heart, and the matter can reach to religion and creed. Therefore, it is obligatory to avoid the company of the impious and wicked except for the people of faith.
➋ In charity and gifts, priority is given to the people of faith and the people of piety; others are of a secondary level, though doing good to them also brings reward. As Allah the Exalted says: (وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَى حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا) — The people of faith, out of love for Allah, feed the needy, the orphan, and the captive. And captives can be of any kind: Muslim, impious, wicked, or disbeliever. The same applies to the matter of orphans and the needy.
