قَالَ لِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ( صلوات الله عليه ) يَا بُنَيَّ انْظُرْ خَمْسَةً فَلَا تُصَاحِبْهُمْ وَ لَا تُحَادِثْهُمْ وَ لَا تُرَافِقْهُمْ فِي طَرِيقٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَهْ مَنْ هُمْ قَالَ إِيَّاكَ وَ مُصَاحَبَةَ الْكَذَّابِ فَإِنَّهُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ السَّرَابِ يُقَرِّبُ لَكَ الْبَعِيدَ وَ يُبَاعِدُ لَكَ الْقَرِيبَ وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ مُصَاحَبَةَ الْفَاسِقِ فَإِنَّهُ بَائِعُكَ بِأُكْلَةٍ أَوْ أَقَلَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ مُصَاحَبَةَ الْبَخِيلِ فَإِنَّهُ يَخْذُلُكَ فِي مَالِهِ أَحْوَجَ مَا تَكُونُ إِلَيْهِ وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ مُصَاحَبَةَ الْأَحْمَقِ فَإِنَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَنْفَعَكَ فَيَضُرُّكَ وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ مُصَاحَبَةَ الْقَاطِعِ لِرَحِمِهِ فَإِنِّي وَجَدْتُهُ مَلْعُوناً فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ مَوَاضِعَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِنْ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ أَنْ تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ تُقَطِّعُوا أَرْحامَكُمْ أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ فَأَصَمَّهُمْ وَ أَعْمى أَبْصارَهُمْ وَ قَالَ الَّذِينَ يَنْقُضُونَ عَهْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مِيثاقِهِ وَ يَقْطَعُونَ ما أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَنْ يُوصَلَ وَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ أُولئِكَ لَهُمُ اللَّعْنَةُ وَ لَهُمْ سُوءُ الدَّارِ وَ قَالَ فِي الْبَقَرَةِ الَّذِينَ يَنْقُضُونَ عَهْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مِيثاقِهِ وَ يَقْطَعُونَ ما أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَنْ يُوصَلَ وَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ أُولئِكَ هُمُ الْخاسِرُونَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Amro Bin Usman, from Muhammad Bin Uzafar, from one of his companions, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, from Abu Hamza, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, from his<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘O my<sup>asws</sup> son<sup>asws</sup>! Watch out for five, so neither accompany them, nor discuss with them, nor befriend them in a road’. So I<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O father<sup>asws</sup>! Who are they?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Beware of accompanying the liar, for he is at the status of the mirage. He brings near to you<sup>asws</sup> the remote, and distances to you<sup>asws</sup> the near one. And beware of accompanying the immoral, for he would sell you<sup>asws</sup> for a meal or less than that. And beware of accompanying the stingy, for he would abandon you regarding his wealth in a dire (critical) a need faced by you from him. And beware of accompanying the stupid, for he would intend to benefit you but he would (actually) harm you. And beware of accompanying the severer of his relationships, for I<sup>asws</sup> find him to be an Accursed one in the Book of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic in three places – Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Says <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:47#h22"><a href="/books/quran:47#h22">[47:22]</a></a> But if you held command, you were sure to make mischief in the land and cut off the ties of kinship! <a href="/#/books/quran:47#h23"><a href="/books/quran:47#h23">[47:23]</a></a> Those it is whom Allah has Cursed so He has made them deaf and blinded their eyes</span>. And He<sup>azwj</sup> Said <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:13#h25"><a href="/books/quran:13#h25">[13:25]</a></a> And those who break the promise with Allah after its Covenant and are cutting asunder that which Allah has Commanded to be joined and making mischief in the land; they, for them is the Curse, and for them is the evil abode</span>. And He<sup>azwj</sup> Said in (Surah) Al-Baqarah <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:2#h27"><a href="/books/quran:2#h27">[2:27]</a></a> Who break the Covenant of Allah after its confirmation and cut asunder what Allah has Commanded to be joined, and make mischief in the land; these it is that are the losers</span>’.
