Show the chain

قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا الْمَخْزُومِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ:

مَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ الصَّالِحِ كَمَثَلِ صَاحِبِ الْمِسْكِ، إِنْ لَمْ يُعْطِكَ أَصَابَكَ مِنْ رِيحِهِ، ( وَمَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ السُّوءِ، كَمَثَلِ صَاحِبِ الْكِيرِ إِنْ لَمْ يُحْرِقْ ثِيَابَكَ أَصَابَكَ مِنْ رِيحِهِ أَوْ أَنْتَنَكَ رِيحُهُ )

✧ The parable of the righteous companion is like the parable of the owner of musk; if he does not give you some, some of its fragrance will reach you. And the parable of the evil companion is like the parable of the owner of the bellows; if he does not burn your clothes, some of its smell will reach you, or its odor will offend you.
