٣٤۔٣٨ باب فِي الْعَطَّارِ وَبَيْعِ الْمِسْكِ

bukhari:2101Mūsá b. Ismāʿīl > ʿAbd al-Wāḥid > Abū Burdah b. ʿAbdullāh > Abū Burdah b. Abū Mūsá from his father

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The example of a good companion (who sits with you) in comparison with a bad one, is like that of the musk seller and the blacksmith's bellows (or furnace); from the first you would either buy musk or enjoy its good smell while the bellows would either burn your clothes or your house, or you get a bad nasty smell thereof."  

البخاري:٢١٠١حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بُرْدَةَ بْنَ أَبِي مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ ؓ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ الصَّالِحِ وَالْجَلِيسِ السَّوْءِ كَمَثَلِ صَاحِبِ الْمِسْكِ وَكِيرِ الْحَدَّادِ لاَ يَعْدَمُكَ مِنْ صَاحِبِ الْمِسْكِ إِمَّا تَشْتَرِيهِ أَوْ تَجِدُ رِيحَهُ وَكِيرُ الْحَدَّادِ يُحْرِقُ بَدَنَكَ أَوْ ثَوْبَكَ أَوْ تَجِدُ مِنْهُ رِيحًا خَبِيثَةً
