“The comparison between a righteous Companion and an evil Companion can be likened to one who carries perfume and another who blows at a flame in a furnace. The one who carries perfume may give you some as a gift, or you may buy some from him, or at least you may smell its fragrance. As for the other, he may set your clothes on fire, or at the very least you may inhale the fumes of the furnace."

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Musa Ash'ari who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
