أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ لَيثٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، نَحْوَهُ، وَزَادَ قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قُلْتَ مَا قُلْتَ، ثُمَّ أَكْرَمْتَهُ؟ فَقَالَ: ((إِنَّ شَرَّ النَّاسِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الَّذِينَ يُكْرَمُونَ اتِّقَاءَ شَرِّهِمْ)).
Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) a similar narration and reported this addition: She (Sayyidah Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her) stated that I said: O Messenger of Allah! You have said what you had to say, then you honored him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The worst people in the sight of Allah are those who are honored in order to be safe from their evil."
