The Shaykh Ibn Baz’s advice to one afflicted by bad company?

Question:
The truth is, there are two questions, and they are all quite similar. The first question says: If I am in such noble gatherings and I am with the righteous, I feel that I am in a good state, praise be to Allah, and my mindfulness of Allah is good. But if I go with companions who I feel are falling short in obedience, what do you advise me to do, Honorable Shaykh? That is to say,

Answer:
This applies to you and to others, my brother. This is a common occurrence. However, we advise you to strive to keep the company of the good as much as you can. Keeping their company increases your good, and increases your faith and mindfulness of Allah. And you should beware of the company of those who fall short, whose company increases your evil, your falling short, and your weakness. Otherwise, a decline in devotion is inevitable. Once, when Hanzalah was with the Companion [Abu Bakr], he said, “Hanzalah has become a hypocrite.” He asked, “What is that?” He said, “We are with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he reminds us of Paradise and the Fire until it is as if we see them with our own eyes, and our hearts become soft. But when we leave his presence, we are distracted by our wives and children, and we forget much.” The Companion said, “We are the same.” This happens. So they went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him. He said, “If you were to be as you are with me, the angels would shake hands with you on your paths and on your beds.”
But, O Hanzalah, it is sometimes one way and sometimes another. That is, sometimes it is for matters of religion, understanding, and learning, and sometimes for matters of this world, in the farm, with the family and children, or as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said. This is the meaning of the hadith: that a person’s heart becomes soft and humble in gatherings of remembrance and knowledge, until he feels he is among the people of the Hereafter and the people of happiness. And when he goes out to his family, his children, his farm, and his business, his state changes, and he forgets much. This is reality. But aim for the target and come close. A person aims and comes close, and strives not to let his foot slip. He strives to keep the company of the good, and to admonish his family and guide them to good, so that he remains steadfast, so that he does not fall, so that his foot does not slip. And Allah is the One to be sought for help. Yes.
