Do not befriend them, speak to or accompany them on a journey.

Do not befriend them, speak to or accompany them on a journey.\u2019 \n I asked: \u2018O father -asws who are they? Define them for me -asws .\u2019 \n He -asws said: \u2018Never befriend a liar; he is like a mirage. He shows what is far very near and what is near, in fact, very far. Never befriend a sinful person; he may sell you for a meal or even less. Never befriend a stingy person; he betrays you in the matter of his property at a time when you need help urgently.

Never befriend an idiotic person; he may intend to benefit you, instead he causes you harm. Never befriend one who has failed to maintain good relations with relatives; I have found him condemned in the book of Allah -azwj in three places. \n Allah -azwj Says: \u2018If you ignore the commands of Allah, would you then also spread evil in the land and sever the ties of kinship?

(47:22) \n Allah has condemned these people and made them deaf, dumb, and blind.\u2019 (47:23) \n Allah -azwj Says: \u2018 Those who disregard their covenant with Allah after He has taken such a pledge from them, who sever the proper relations that Allah has commanded them to establish, and those who spread evil in the land will have Allah’s condemnation instead of reward and will face the most terrible end.\u2019 (13:25) \n Allah -azwj Says: \u2018 Who break their established covenant with Him and the relations He has commanded to be kept and who spread evil in the land.
