حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ . ح ، وحَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِذَا سَمِعْتَ ، وَقَالَ مُوسَى : إِذَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ هَلَكَ النَّاسُ فَهُوَ أَهْلَكُهُمْ " , قال أبو داود : قَالَ مَالِكٌ : إِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ تَحَزُّنًا لِمَا يَرَى فِي النَّاسِ : يَعْنِي فِي أَمْرِ دِينِهِمْ ، فَلَا أَرَى بِهِ بَأْسًا ، وَإِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ عُجْبًا بِنَفْسِهِ وَتَصَاغُرًا لِلنَّاسِ ، فَهُوَ الْمَكْرُوهُ الَّذِي نُهِيَ عَنْهُ .
Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ said: When you hear. . . . (Musa's version has): When a man says people have perished, he is the one who has suffered that fate most. Abu Dawud said: Malik said: If he says that out of sadness for the decadence of religion which he sees among the people, I do not think there is any harm in that. If he says that out of self-conceit and servility of the people, it is an abominable act which has been prohibited.

Brief Explanation
1؎ : The meaning is that when a person continuously mentions the faults and evils of others, and with his tongue keeps speaking about people being involved in corruption and their destruction and ruin, then such a person, due to the sin that afflicts him because of this action, is most deserving of destruction and ruin himself. And at times, he may also fall prey to self-conceit.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Undoubtedly, no matter how righteous a person may be on his own, if he falls into the trap of self-admiration and arrogance due to satanic deception, then he is the one most likely to fall into destruction, as has been mentioned in the previous hadith 4901. Therefore, one should always avoid speaking boastful and evil words.
