1. The Prophet said, 'The example of a good pious companion and an evil one
is that of a person carrying musk and another blowing a pair of bellows. The
one who is carrying musk will either give you some perfume as a present, or
you will buy some from him, or you will get a good smell from him, but the
one who is blowing a pair of bellows will either burn your clothes or you will
get a bad smell from him." (Bukhari and Muslim}
