If you give a friend a cookie…

If you have given your friend sound advice, do not be surprised to find yourself challenged in that very area! Assuming that your heart was clear of pride (for that alone will bring your fall!), then remember that you are the cause of the devil’s loss in the battle for your friend’s soul.  Therefore he will attack your own soul to seek revenge. Be not afraid; turn to your Lord and He will rescue you as He did your friend.
