٢٣٧٨ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ وَرْدَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الرَّجُلُ عَلَى دِينِ خَلِيلِهِ» فَلْيَنْظُرْ أَحَدُكُمْ مَنْ يُخَالِلُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ.

Commentary
As a general rule, man imbibes the habits and manners of the people he mixes with. He would, therefore, be well advised to wisely choose his friends and companions. If he chooses the company of rogues, he would also acquire their evil habits that will only spell his ruination and doom.
