عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ: ((مَنْ طَالَ عُمُرُهُ وَحَسُنَ عَمَلُهُ))، قَالَ: فَأَيُّ النَّاسِ شَرٌّ؟ قَالَ: ((مَنْ طَالَ عُمُرُهُ وَسَاءَ عَمَلُهُ))
Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! Who is the best person among the people? He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: The one whose life is long and whose deeds are good. He then asked: Who is the worst person among the people? He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: The one whose life is long and whose deeds are bad.
