Recommendation to Sit with the Righteous and Avoid Bad Company
Hadith Number: 1687
1687 صحيح حديث ابي موسى رضي الله عنه، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، قال: مثل جليس 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
Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The example of a good and a bad companion is like that of one who carries musk and one who blows the bellows (of a blacksmith). (The one who has musk and you are in his company) he will either give you some as a gift, or you will buy some from him, or (at the very least) you will enjoy its pleasant fragrance. And the bellows-blower will either burn your clothes (with the fire of the furnace), or you will get a foul, offensive smell from him.
