[[ Ruby’s note 9:119 – I think what is implied here to be with the truthful [sadiqin] is to work, support and be close to the truthful one to further the cause of service to God and to be influenced by them. It is not that one dissociate with the rejecters and wrong-doing people. They should be interacted and engaged with, I believe intensely,]]
