العربية (الأصل)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ عَن أَبِي كَبْشَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مُوسَى يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ الصَّالِحِ كَمَثَلِ الْعَطَّارِ إِنْ لَا يُحْذِيكَ يَعْبَقُ بِكَ مِنْ رِيحِهِ وَمَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ السَّوْءِ كَمَثَلِ صَاحِبِ الْكِيرِ.

Affan told us: Abd al-Wahid b. Ziyad told us: Asim al-Ahwal told us, from Abu Kabsha, who said: I heard Abu Musa say, on the pulpit: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The likeness of a good companion is like a perfumer: even if he does not give you some, you will be scented by his fragrance. And the likeness of a bad companion is like the owner of a blacksmith's bellows."
