أحسن الله إليكم I made a friend in the masjid but he does not have a beard (I do not remember if he trimmed it or it didn't grow yet الله أعلم)، and he has a silver chain if I am correct. Should I try to direct him to seeking knowledge or should I cut him off?

Advise him gently, and if he does not listen, it is better for you to surround yourself with those that will increase your iman not decrease it.
