Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 13139

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ ، يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " خِيَارُ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الَّذِينَ إِذَا رُؤُوا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ ، وَشِرَارُ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الْمَشَّاؤُونَ بِالنَّمِيمَةِ ، الْمُفَرِّقُونَ بَيْنَ الْأَحِبَّةِ ، الْبَاغُونَ لِلْبُرَآءِ الْعَنَتَ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَفِيهِ شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Ghanm (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that this hadith reached him from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (he said): "The best of the servants of Allah are those who, when they are seen, Allah is remembered; and the worst of the servants of Allah are those who go about with tale-bearing, who cause separation between friends, and who seek hardship for the innocent."
This narration was recorded by Imam Ahmad. Its chain contains a narrator, Shahr bin Hawshab. The remaining narrators of this narration are the narrators of the Sahih.
