عن ابن عباس قال: قيل: يا رسول الله أي جلسائنا خير قال: من ذكركم الله رؤيته وزاد في عملكم منطقه وذكركم في الآخرة عمله (مجمع الزوائد، الرقم: 17686)
Hazrat ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbaas (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was once asked, “O Rasul of Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)! Which person is the best companion for us to associate with?” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) replied, “The best companion is the one whose sight reminds you of Allah Ta‘ala, his speech causes you to increase in righteous actions, and his actions remind you of the Hereafter.”
