Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir — Hadith 2916

"تجدون الناس معادن فخيارهم في الجاهلية خيارهم في الإسلام إذا فقهوا وتجدون خير الناس في هذا الشأن أشدهم له كراهية قبل أن يقع فيه وتجدون شر الناس يوم القيامة عند الله ذا الوجهين:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"You will find people like mines (of minerals); those of them who were best in the time of ignorance (Jahiliyyah) are also the best after accepting Islam, provided they gain understanding of the religion. And you will find the best person in this matter (of authority and leadership) to be the one who most detested it before falling into that office. And you will find the worst person with Allah on the Day of Resurrection to be the one who is two-faced: (that is, the one who comes to one group with one face and to another with another face)."
