Do Not.....

*Salaamun 'alaykum wa rahmat-ul-lahi wa barakātuh* 

_In the name of Allaah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) ._

🎙️ʿAlī b. ʾAbī Ṭālib – may Allāh be pleased with him – said:

*“Do not be with the sinner, for he will beautify to you the things he does, and he will want you to be like him; and he will beautify to you the worst of his practices; and his entrance upon you and leaving from your company will cause ignominy and discredit [of you].*

*And do not accompany the fool, for he will exhaust himself [to help you] but will not benefit you, and he may want to benefit you but end up harming you; his silence is better than his speaking, his distance is better than his closeness, and him dying is better than him living.*

*And do not accompany the liar, for life will not benefit you with him, he will tell others what you say, and tell you what others say; and if you speak the truth, it will not be believed.”* 

📚 [Al-Mujālasah wa Jawāhir AlʿIlm: 1379]

*May Allaah accept our ibaadat and forgive our shortcomings.*
