Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the people spoke ill of him, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) welcomed him. When the man had gone, he said: "On the Day of Resurrection, the worst person in rank before Allah Almighty will be the one whose evil people fear."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains Uthman bin Matir, who is extremely da'if (weak).
