Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I tell you about the worst among you?

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that during the Prophetic era, two orators came from the east, they stood and delivered a speech and then sat down. Then the orator of the Messenger of Allah, Sayyiduna Thabit bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him), stood up and after speaking, he also sat down. The people were greatly astonished by his speech. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O people! (In a natural manner and without any affectation or artificiality) express your purpose, for indeed, extracting the intricacies of speech is from Satan. Also, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, some eloquence is (like) magic.

عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ ذَرَاعٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مَعْنَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ أَوْ أَبَا مَعْنٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ اجْتَمِعُوا فِي مَسَاجِدِكُمْ فَإِذَا اجْتَمَعَ قَوْمٌ فَلْيُؤْذِنُونِي قَالَ فَاجْتَمَعْنَا أَوَّلَ النَّاسِ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَجَاءَ يَمْشِي مَعَنَا حَتَّى جَلَسَ إِلَيْنَا فَتَكَلَّمَ مُتَكَلِّمٌ مِنَّا فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ لِلْحَمْدِ دُونَهُ مُقْتَصَرٌ لَيْسَ وَرَاءَهُ مَنْفَذٌ وَنَحْوًا مِنْ هَذَا فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَامَ فَتَلَاوَمْنَا وَلَامَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا فَقُلْنَا خَصَّنَا اللَّهُ بِهِ أَنْ أَتَانَا أَوَّلَ النَّاسِ وَأَنْ فَعَلَ وَفَعَلَ قَالَ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَوَجَدْنَاهُ فِي مَسْجِدِ بَنِي فُلَانٍ فَكَلَّمْنَاهُ فَأَقْبَلَ يَمْشِي مَعَنَا حَتَّى جَلَسَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِ أَوْ قَرِيبًا مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ جَعَلَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَمَا شَاءَ جَعَلَ خَلْفَهُ وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا فَأَمَرَنَا وَكَلَّمَنَا وَعَلَّمَنَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ma’n bin Yazid or Sayyiduna Abu Ma’n, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Gather in the mosques, and when the people have gathered, inform me. So we were the first to gather, then we informed the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, came walking with us until he sat with us. Then one of us, who was appointed, spoke and said: All praise is for Allah, for whom no one’s praise was ever sufficient before, and whose praise cannot be surpassed, or he said something similar. But it happened that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, became angry and left. We blamed each other among ourselves and said: Allah had favored us in that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came to us first, and now this has happened. Then we went to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and found him in the mosque of such-and-such tribe. We spoke to him, and he, peace and blessings be upon him, walked with us until he sat in the same place or near it and said: Indeed, all praise is for Allah; now it is Allah’s will whether He establishes this praise before the present time or after it, and indeed, some speech is magic. Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, turned to us and gave us commands, spoke to us, and taught us some matters.
Hadith 9933
عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ قَوْمٌ يَأْكُلُونَ بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ كَمَا تَأْكُلُ الْبَقَرُ بِأَلْسِنَتِهَا
Narrated by Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Hour will not be established until there appear people who will eat with their tongues in the manner that a cow eats with its tongue.

عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ ائْذَنُوا لَهُ فَبِئْسَ ابْنُ الْعَشِيرَةِ أَوْ بِئْسَ أَخُو الْعَشِيرَةِ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً رَجُلٌ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَلَانَ لَهُ الْقَوْلَ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ قُلْتَ لَهُ الَّذِي قُلْتَ ثُمَّ أَلَنْتَ لَهُ الْقَوْلَ فَقَالَ أَيْ عَائِشَةُ شَرُّ النَّاسِ مَنْزِلَةً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَنْ وَدَعَهُ النَّاسُ أَوْ تَرَكَهُ النَّاسُ اتِّقَاءَ فُحْشِهِ (وَفِي لَفْظٍ) إِنَّ مِنْ شِرَارِ النَّاسِ أَوْ شَرَّ النَّاسِ الَّذِي يُكْرَمُونَ اتِّقَاءَ شَرِّهِمْ
Narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a man sought permission to enter upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), upon seeing him, said: "Give permission to this man, he is a bad person of his family." Then when he came in, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) treated him gently. When he left, I asked: "O Messenger of Allah! You said what you said before, then you treated him gently. (What is the reason for these two kinds of behavior)?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Aisha! The worst people in status before Allah on the Day of Resurrection will be those whom people avoid to protect themselves from their evil." In another narration: "The worst people are those whose honor is shown to avoid their evil."
Hadith 9935
عَنْ أَبِي يُونُسَ مَوْلَى عَائِشَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ بِئْسَ ابْنُ الْعَشِيرَةِ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ هَشَّ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَانْبَسَطَ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نِعْمَ ابْنُ الْعَشِيرَةِ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ لَمْ يَنْبَسِطْ إِلَيْهِ كَمَا انْبَسَطَ إِلَى الْآخَرِ وَلَمْ يَهَشَّ لَهُ كَمَا هَشَّ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اسْتَأْذَنَ فُلَانٌ فَقُلْتَ لَهُ مَا قُلْتَ ثُمَّ هَشَشْتَ لَهُ وَانْبَسَطْتَ إِلَيْهِ وَقُلْتَ لِفُلَانٍ مَا قُلْتَ وَلَمْ أَرَكَ صَنَعْتَ بِهِ مَا صَنَعْتَ لِلْآخَرِ فَقَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ مِنْ شِرَارِ النَّاسِ مَنِ الُّقِيَ لِفُحْشِهِ
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a man sought permission to come to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said about him: "He is a bad man of his family." Then, when he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) treated him cheerfully and informally. After that man left, another man came. About him, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He is the best man of his family." Then, when he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not treat him as informally as he had treated the first one, nor was he as cheerful with him. When this man also left, I (Aisha) said: "O Messenger of Allah! When so-and-so sought permission from you, you declared him to be a bad man of his family, but then you treated him cheerfully and informally. And about so-and-so, you commented well, but did not treat him as you did the first one?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Aisha! The worst people are those from whose evil others are cautious."
