عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى رضي الله عنه عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ الصَّالِحِ وَالْجَلِيسِ السَّوْءِ كَحَامِلِ الْمِسْكِ وَنَافِخِ الْكِيرِ، فَحَامِلُ الْمِسْكِ: إِمَّا أَنْ يُحْذِيَكَ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَبْتَاعَ مِنْهُ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ مِنْهُ رِيحًا طَيِّبَةً، وَنَافِخُ الْكِيرِ: إِمَّا أَنْ يُحْرِقَ ثِيَابَكَ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ رِيحًا خَبِيثَةً».
Na kutoka kwa Abuu Musa Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake- kutoka kwa Mtume Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake amesema: “Mfano wa rafiki mwema na rafiki muovu ni mfano wa mbeba miski na mfua vyuma. Mbeba miski: atakukaribia utapata harufu nzuri ya marashi yake, au utanunua kwake, na ama mfua vyuma: Ima atachoma nguo zako, au utasikia harufu mbaya.”
Abu Mūsa (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Verily, the example of the righteous companion and the evil companion is like that of the carrier of the musk and the blower of the bellows. The carrier of the musk will either give you, or you will buy from him, or you will get a pleasant smell from him, and the blower of the bellows will either burn your clothes or you will get an offensive smell."
Inaruhusiwa kutumia mifano ili kusogeza maana karibu kwa msikilizaji.
Himizo na hamasisho kwa watu kuwa pamoja na watu watiifu na waadilifu, na kujiepusha na watu waovu na wenye maadili mabaya.
