قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ أَنْ يُوَاخِيَ الْفَاجِرَ فَإِنَّهُ يُزَيِّنُ لَهُ فِعْلَهُ وَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِثْلَهُ وَ لَا يُعِينُهُ عَلَى أَمْرِ دُنْيَاهُ وَ لَا أَمْرِ مَعَادِهِ وَ مَدْخَلُهُ إِلَيْهِ وَ مَخْرَجُهُ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ شَيْنٌ عَلَيْهِ.

2. In the Hadith of ‘Abd al-‘Ala’ from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) it is said that Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali ibn abu Talib (a.s.) said: “It is not proper for a Muslim man to become a friend of an indecent person; he tries to make his deeds seem attractive to him and loves that one to behave like him (indecent). He does not assist him in his religious matters or the matters of the hereafter. The coming and going of an indecent person is a disgrace to one.”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
