Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The worst of people is the one who is most harsh toward his family." The people said: "O Messenger of Allah! How is he harsh toward his family?" He said: "When the man enters his home, his wife becomes fearful of him, and his child runs away from him and flees; and when he goes out, his wife starts laughing and his household feel at ease."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains Abdullah bin Yazid bin al-Salt, who is matruk (abandoned).
