مَن لا يَنبَغي مُجالَسَتُهُ With Whom We Must Not Sit

10- رسول اللّه‏ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): ثـلاثـةٌ مُجالَسَتُهُم تُميتُ القَلبَ : مُجالَسَهُ الأنْذالِ ، والحَديثُ مَع النّساءِ ، ومُجالَسَةُ الأغْنياء .

10- The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Three types of people whose companionship slays the heart: sitting with cowards, chatting with women, and sitting with the rich.’[Ibid. p. 87, no. 2]
 

11- رسول اللّه‏ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): إيّاكُم ومُجَالَسةَ المَوتى ! قيلَ: يا رسولَ اللّه‏ِ، مَنِ المَوتى ؟ قال: كُلُّ غَنيٍّ أطْغاهُ غِناهُ.

11- The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Beware of sitting with the dead.’ He was asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, who are the dead?’ He replied, ‘Every rich person whose wealth has made a tyrant of him.’[Tanbih al-Khawatir, v. 2, p. 32]
 

12- الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): مُجالَسَةُ أهلِ الهَوى مَنْساةٌ للإيمانِ، ومَحْضَرَةٌ للشَّيطانِ .

12- Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Sitting with people of base desires causes heedlessness of one’s faith, and invites Satan thereat.’[Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 86]
 

13- الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لا تَصْحَبوا أهلَ البِدَعِ ولا تُجالِسوهـُم فتَصيروا عِنـد النّاسِ كواحِـدٍ مِنهُم .

13- Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Do not take the people of innovation (bida`a) as companions and do not sit with them lest you be considered one of them in people’s eyes.’[al-Kafi, v. 2, p. 375, no. 3]
 

14- الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إيّاكُم ومُجَالَسةَ المُلوكِ وأبناءِالدُّنيا، ففي ذلكَ ذَهابُ دِينِكُم ويُعقِبُكُم نِفاقا، وذلكَ داءٌ دَوِيٌّ لا شِفاءَ لَهُ، ويُورِثُ قَساوَةَ القَلبِ، ويَسْلُبُكُم الخُشوعَ، وعلَيكُم بالأشْكالِ مِن النّاسِ والأوْساطِ مِن النّاسِ فعِندَهُم تَجِدونَ مَعادِنَ الجَوهرِ .

14- Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Beware of sitting with kings and worldly people, for in this there is the erosion of your religion and it will bring about hypocrisy in you, and this is a serious disease from which there is no cure. It will also engender hardheartedness and deprive you of true submission [to Allah]. You must stick to those people who are most like you and the middle classes of people, for it is with them that you find the true jewels.’[Mustadrak al-Wasail, v. 8, p. 337, no. 9595]
