If ever you are to take a close friend,
then befriend one like Hussan ibn Sa'd:

فَتىً لا يَرزَأُ الخُلّانُ شَيئاً
وَيَرزَؤُهُand takes from him الخَليلُthe close friend بِغَيرِwithout كَدِّeffort
وَيَرزَؤُهُ الخَليلُ بِغَيرِ كَدِّ
a young man who takes nothing from his friends,
while his friend takes from him without effort.
