    149. Mention had been made of miserliness, now mention is being made of extravagance. This includes giving charity for shows, doing weddings to boost one's ego, spending on improper and unreasonable customs, etc. as they are all part of extravagance.
    150. By "Evil companion" means doing things in this world that would gladden the devil who will be with him so much so that he eats, drinks, and cohabits with him. For this reason, the order is that begin every permissible work by invoking the blessed name of Allah (Bismillah). In the Hereafter this companion will be chained with the devil.
