عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْبُلْدَانِ شَرٌّ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَا أَدْرِي فَلَمَّا أَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ قَالَ يَا جِبْرِيلُ أَيُّ الْبِلَادِ شَرٌّ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَانْطَلَقَ جِبْرِيلُ ثُمَّ مَكَثَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَمْكُثَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّكَ سَأَلْتَنِي أَيُّ الْبُلْدَانِ شَرٌّ فَقُلْتُ لَا أَدْرِي وَإِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَيُّ الْبُلْدَانِ شَرٌّ فَقَالَ أَسْوَاقُهَا
Narrated from Sayyiduna Jubair bin Mut’im (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Which part of the earth is the worst? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: I do not know. When Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he asked him this question, but he said: I also do not know, but I will ask my Lord. So he left, then after some delay or period, when he returned, he said: O Muhammad! You had asked about the worst part of the earth and I had said that I do not know, then I asked my Lord, so He said that the worst part of the surface of the earth is the marketplaces.
