Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 874

وَعَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ : تَعَرَّضْتُ - أَوْ قَالَ : تَصَدَّيْتُ - لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهُوَ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَيُّ النَّاسِ شَرٌّ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " اللَّهُمَّ غَفْرَةً ، اسْأَلْ عَنِ الْخَيْرِ وَلَا تَسْأَلْ عَنِ الشَّرِّ ، شِرَارُ النَّاسِ شِرَارُ الْعُلَمَاءِ فِي النَّاسِ " .
رَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ ، وَفِيهِ الْخَلِيلُ بْنُ مُرَّةَ ، قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ : مُنْكَرُ الْحَدِيثِ ، وَرَدَّ ابْنُ عَدِيٍّ قَوْلَ الْبُخَارِيِّ ، وَقَالَ أَبُو زُرْعَةَ : شَيْخٌ صَالِحٌ .
Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I presented myself before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (the narrator is in doubt about one word here) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was circumambulating the House. I asked: O Messenger of Allah! Who is the worst person? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Allah! I ask You for forgiveness. (Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) and said:) Ask about good, and do not ask about evil! The worst of people are those who are the evil scholars among the people.
Al-Bazzar recorded it; its chain contains al-Khalil bin Murrah. Al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) says: He is munkar al-hadith (his narrations are rejected). Ibn Adi rejected al-Bukhari's (may Allah have mercy on him) statement, and Abu Zur'ah says: He is a righteous shaykh.
