Advice
of Sufyan Al-Thawree (rahimahullah) to Alee ibn Al-Hasan As-Sulamee:
Your
companion should be the one who prevents you from being preoccupied with things
of the worldly life that will divert you from Allaah, and one who makes you
desire and work for the Hereafter.
Beware
of accompanying people who make the dunyah their goal, those who are engrossed
in speaking about the worldly life; indeed they will corrupt your religion and
your heart.
Remember
death much, and seek a lot of forgiveness from what has passed of your sins,
and ask Allaah for safety for what remains of your life.

Awliyaa Vol. 7 Pg. 82
