«باب استحباب مجالسة الصالحين ومجانبة قرنا، السوء»
One should sit with righteous people and avoid the company of bad companions
❀ «عن ابي موسى رضي الله عنه، عن النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم، قال: مثل الجليس الصالح، والسوء، كحامل المسك، ونافخ الكير، فحامل المسك إما ان يحذيك، وإما ان تبتاع منه، وإما ان تجد منه ريحا طيبة، ونافخ الكير إما ان يحرق ثيابك، وإما ان تجد ريحا خبيثة.»
It is narrated from Abu Musa, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet ﷺ said: “The example of a good companion and a bad companion is like that of the seller of musk and the blacksmith’s bellows-blower. The seller of musk will either give you something (as a gift), or you will buy from him, or at the very least you will get a pleasant fragrance from him. And the bellows-blower will either burn your clothes, or at the very least you will get a foul smell from him, and your temperament will be disturbed by it.”
❀ «عن أبى هريرة أن النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: الرجل على دين خليله فلينظر أحدكم من يخالل.»
It is narrated from Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “A man is upon the religion of his close friend, so let each of you look carefully at whom he takes as a friend.”
