حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الأَعْلَمُ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلامٍ الْجُمَحِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ ، وَحُمَيْدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِِ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، أَنَّ رَجُلا ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، "أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ ؟ ، قَالَ : مَنْ طَالَ عُمْرُهُ ، وَحَسُنَ عَمَلُهُ ، قَالَ : وَأَيُّ النَّاسِ شَرٌّ ، قَالَ : مَنْ طَالَ عُمْرُهُ وَسَاءَ عَمَلُهُ "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ يُونُسَ ، إِلا حَمَّادٌ
Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) says: A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Which person is the best?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "The one whose life is long and whose deeds are good." He asked, "And who is bad?" He replied: "The one whose life is long and whose deeds are bad."

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
The status and position that capital and principal hold in the eyes of a merchant is the same as that of time.
A merchant is always desirous of increasing his capital;
similarly, one who is granted a long life should ensure that his time is spent as much as possible in righteous deeds.
If he preserves the capital of his life in this way, then just as a merchant who seeks to increase his capital often earns profit,
in the same way, he too will continue to reap benefit.
Note:
(In the chain of narration, Ali ibn Zayd ibn Jud'an is a weak narrator,
but on the basis of corroborating evidence, as with the previous hadith, this hadith is authentic.)
