حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَتَّابٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ ثَنَا أَبُو قِلَابَةَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ثَنَا شُبَيْلُ بْنُ عَزْرَةَ قَالَ
انْطَلَقْنَا بِقَتَادَةَ نَقُودُهُ إِلَى أَنَسٍ وَنَحْنُ غِلْمَةٌ فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا أَحْسَنَ هَذَا ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ بِكَلَامٍ يُرَغِّبُهُمْ فِي طَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ قَالَ فَحَدَّثَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ الصَّالِحِ مَثَلُ الْعَطَّارِ إِنْ لَمْ يُعْطِكَ مِنْ عِطْرِهِ أَوْ قَالَ إِنْ لَمْ تُصِبْ مِنْ عِطْرِهِ أَصَابَكَ مِنْ رِيحِهِ

✧ We set out with Qatadah, leading him to Anas while we were young boys, and we entered upon him. He said, 'How good this is,' then he spoke words encouraging them to seek knowledge. He said: He narrated to us that day that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The example of a righteous companion is like that of a perfume seller: if he does not give you some of his perfume,' or he said, 'if you do not obtain some of his perfume, some of his fragrance reaches you.'
