Teach them to select good friends for themselves
If the friend is a good person, then teach them to love her/him and grow close to their friend, and if
he/she is a bad and corrupt person, then tell them to keep away from her/him.
Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari, radi Allahu 'anhu, reported that the Prophet, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam,
said, "The example of a good companion and a bad one is the bearer of musk and the worker on the
fires. A bearer of musk would give you some, you might buy some from him, or you might enjoy the
fragrance of his musk. The worker on the fires, on the other hand, might spoil your clothes with
sparks from his bellows, or you get a bad smell from him."
128
“Bad statements are for bad people (or bad women for bad men) and bad people for bad
statements (or bad men for bad women). Good statements are for good people (or good women for
good men) and good people for good statements (or good men for good women): such (good people)
are innocent of (every) bad statement which they say; for them is forgiveness, and Rizqun Kareem
(generous provision, i.e. Paradise)”
