It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, came and stood by some people who were sitting, and said: "Shall I not tell you who among your worst people are the best?" The people remained silent. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, repeated this sentence three times. Finally, one person said: "Why not, O Messenger of Allah!" The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The best among you is the one from whom good is expected, and the worst among you is the one from whom good is not expected and from whose evil there is no safety."
