Hirisutta 03. The third Sutta of the Cūḷa Vagga of the Suttanipāta (Snp.vs.253-7). It was preached in answer to questions asked by an ascetic. He had been a very rich Brahmin of Sāvatthī before the birth of the Buddha. He gave away all his wealth and became an ascetic in Himavā. There, filled with joy on hearing the news of the Buddha’s appearance in the world, he went to Sāvatthī and visited him. The Buddha preached to him, and at the end of the sermon he entered the Saṅgha, attaining Arahant-ship (Snp­a.i.294f).

The Sutta is a short dissertation on true friendship. A friend is one who helps in time of need, who not only speaks pleasant words, but means them, who encourages and fosters all that is good.
