And let not your eyes pass beyond them, desiring adornments of the worldly life. And do not obey one whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance and who pursues his own desire, and whose affair has been [marked by] excess), and His (SWT) saying: (Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous), and the "The example of a good companion and a bad companion."
