You Smell Outstanding!

Abu Musa al-Asy'ari, radiyallahu 'anhu, reported that the Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, said,
"The good companion and the bad companion are like the bearer of musk and the one who pumps the bellows. With the bearer of musk, either he will give you a share, or you will buy from him, or you will smell a pleasant scent from him; but with the one who pumps the bellows, either he will burn your clothes or you will smell a foul stench from him."
[al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Who are the top 5 people you hang out with? List them. Now look at their qualities and you'll notice that you are a product of the sum of them. Do they have the outstanding qualities that you seek? If not, then it's time to find some bearers of musk that you can truly smell great from.
