"عَنِ الحَارثِ بنِ مُعَاوِيةَ أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ لَه: كَيْفَ تَركْتَ أَهْلَ الشَّامِ؟ فَأَخْبَرَه عَن حَالِهمْ، فَحَمِدَ اللَّه ثُمَّ قَالَ: لَعلكُم تُجَالِسُونَ أَهْلَ الشِّرْكِ؟ فَقَالَ: لَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، قَال: إِنَّكُم إنْ جَالَسْتُمُوهُم أَكَلْتُمْ مَعَهُم وَشَرِبِتُم مَعَهُمْ وَلَنْ تَزالُوا بِخَيْرٍ مَا لم تَفْعَلُوا ذَلِكَ".

"From al-Harith ibn Mu'awiyah that he came to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, and he said to him: 'How did you leave the people of Sham?' So he informed him of their condition. He praised Allah, then said: 'Perhaps you sit with the polytheists?' He said: 'No, O Commander of the Believers.' He said: 'Indeed, if you sit with them, you will eat with them and drink with them, and you will not cease to be in goodness as long as you do not do that.'"
