Hawzah News Agency - Muhammad ibn ‘Ism’il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mansur ibn Hazim from Abu ‘Abdillah who said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.w) said,

مُجَالَسَةُ أَهْلِ الدِّينِ شَرَفُ الدُّنْيَا وَالاخِرَةِ.

"Association with religious people is an honour in this life as well as in the next life."
