"مَثَلُ الْجَليسِ الصَّالِحِ مثلُ الْعطَّار، إِنْ لَمْ يُصِبْكَ مِنْهُ أَصَابكَ رِيحُهُ، ومَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ السُّوءِ مثلُ الْقَينَ إِنْ لَمْ يَحْرِقْكَ بشَررهِ عَلِقَ

"The example of the good companion is like the perfume seller: if he does not give you any of it, its scent will reach you. The example of the bad companion is like the blacksmith: if he does not burn you with his sparks, the smoke will cling to you."
