Imaam
Ahmad [May Allaah have Mercy on him] reported in his Musnad (1288) and
Imaam at-Tirmidhee in his Jaami’ (2378) as well as others:
“The person is upon the same religion as his friend, so look carefully to those whom you befriends.”
It
was said to Mujaahid bin Jabr [may Allaah have Mercy on him], “There is
no good in accompanying someone who does not realise the rights that
you have upon them like you recognise the rights they have upon you.” [Reported by al-Bayhaqee in Shu’bah al-Eemaan (8880)]
Al-Allaamah al-‘Atheem-Baadee said in his book, ‘Awn al-Ma’bood (13/147-148) in explaining the Hadeeth quoted above:
The
meaning is that the person is upon the same habits, path and legacy of
their friend. So one must ponder on the statement, ‘Who he befriends’.
If one is pleased with a persons' religion and manners then they must
befriend such a person and if the potential friend lacks in any of
these, then one must distance himself from this person. End quote.
