Sufyān ath-Thawrī (رحمه الله) said:
«لِيَكُنْ جَلِيسُكَ مَنْ يُزَهِّدُكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَيُرَغِّبُكَ فِي الآخِرَةِ، وَإِيَّاكَ وَمُجَالَسَةَ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا الَّذِينَ يَخُوضُونَ فِي حَدِيثِ الدُّنْيَا؛ فَإِنَّهُمْ يُفْسِدُونَ عَلَيْكَ دِينَكَ وَقَلْبَكَ.»
“Let your companion be the one who makes you abstain from the world and increases your desire for the Hereafter. Beware of sitting with the people of the dunya who immerse themselves in worldly talk, for they corrupt your religion and your heart.”
Ḥilyat al-Awliyā: 7/82
