3. The example of a good and bad companion is like the musk-bearer and the blacksmith.  The musk-bearer will either give you some perfume or you will buy some from him, or you will receive a good fragrance from him. While the blacksmith will either burn your clothes or you will get a bad smell from him.^[1]

4. It is mentioned in a hadith: "Sit in the company of the elders, seek knowledge from scholars, and keep company with the wise."^[2]

5. A good companion is one whose sight reminds you of Allah Almighty, whose speech increases your good deeds, and whose actions remind you of the Hereafter.^[3]
