Ayat 16. Do you think that you shall be left alone while Allah has not yet tested those among you who have striven hard and fought and have not taken companion [freind, helpers, advisors and consultants from disbelievers, pagans, etc.) giving openly to them their secrets] besides Allah and His Messenger, and the believers. Allah is Well-Acquainted with what you do.
Hazrat Abu Said Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Keep only a believer for a companion and let only a pious eat your food". [At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 2395 and Abu Dawud Hadith # 4832].
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah At-Taubah Ayat 16 "have not taken companion [freind, helpers, advisors and consultants from disbelievers, pagans, etc.) This Hadith forbids Muslims from befriending infidels and stresses that they should establish a bond of friendship and fraternity with the pious persons only. The above Hadith signifies that taking believers for company has good consequences on the Muslim. While feeding only pious people compels the Muslim host to provide only Halal or lawful foodstuff for his household as well as his guests.
