It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not weep over the religion when you entrust it to those worthy of it; rather, weep over it when you entrust it to those unworthy of it."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) only with this chain, and Hatim is alone in narrating it."
