Sayyiduna Jubayr bin Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Which part of the lands is the worst?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I do not know." Then, when Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him) came to him, he said, "Jibril, which part of the lands is the worst?" He replied, "I do not know; I will ask my Lord about it." The narrator says: Then Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him) went away, and after as long as Allah willed, he came and said, "O Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), you asked me which part of the lands is the worst, and I told you that I did not know. I asked my Lord which part of the lands is the worst, and He said: Their markets."
Ahmad, Abu Ya'la and al-Tabarani (in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir) recorded it in this way.
