One cannot simply get away by saying his deeds are with him and mine are with me, if Allah-azwj punishes the one with evil deeds, so will all those who associate with the sinner.

Rasool-Allah-saww says: ‘The person is upon the Religion of his friends and his associates’ (an extract). نهج، نهج البلاغة قَالَ ع فِي وَصِيَّتِهِ لِلْحَسَنِ ع‏ قَارِنْ أَهْلَ الْخَيْرِ تَكُنْ مِنْهُمْ وَ بَايِنْ أَهْلَ الشَّرِّ تَبِنْ عَنْهُمْ‏.

(The book) ‘Nahj Al Balagah’ – ‘He-asws said in a bequest to Al-Hassan-asws: ‘Pair (yourself) with the good people, you-asws will become from them, and stay apart from the evil people, you will turn away (being betrayed) from them.’’ وَ قَالَ ص‏ الْجَلِيسُ الصَّالِحُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْوَحْدَةِ وَ الْوَحْدَةُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ جَلِيسِ السَّوْءِ.

And Rasool Allah-saww said: ‘Sitting with the righteous one is better than being alone and being alone is better than sitting with the evil one.’ In summary, Amir Al-Momineen-asws says: ‘Gathering with the evil people inherits evil thoughts regarding the good people.

Also, Imam Al-Sadiq-asws says: ‘It is a right upon Allah-azwj that you come to be (in the Hereafter) along with the ones you lived with in this world.
