Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says that some preachers list the means of steadfastness upon the religion, and among them they mention good company, citing as evidence the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Kahf 18:28] Is his citation in this context correct?
Answer:
Yes, one of the causes of guidance and steadfastness upon it is the company of the guided ones, there is no doubt about that. The righteous companion is like a seller of musk, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) compared him.
