Hadith 8920

وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَفَ عَلَى نَاسٍ جُلُوسٍ ، فَقَالَ : " أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِكُمْ مِنْ شَرِّكُمْ ؟ " قَالَ : فَسَكَتُوا ، فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، أَخْبِرْنَا بِخَيْرِنَا مِنْ شَرِّنَا ، قَالَ : " خَيْرُكُمْ مَنْ يُرْجَى خَيْرُهُ ، وَيُؤْمَنُ شَرُّهُ ، وَشَرُّكُمْ مَنْ لَا يُرْجَى خَيْرُهُ ، وَلَا يُؤْمَنُ شَرُّهُ " .
It is narrated with the previous chain that a group of people were sitting together when the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) came to them and stood among them and said, "Shall I tell you who among you is the best and who is the worst?" The people remained silent. The Prophet (peace be upon him) repeated his words three times. Then one of them said, "Why not, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "The best among you is the one from whom good is expected and people are safe from his evil, and the worst among you is the one from whom no good is expected and people are not safe from his evil."
