It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came towards the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the people spoke ill of him, yet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) welcomed him. When he turned his back and left, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The worst of people in rank with Allah on the Day of Resurrection are those whose evil people fear."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Thabit al-Bunani except Uthman bin Matar, and it is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) only with this chain."
