He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I do not know." He said: Which place is worst? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I do not know." Meanwhile Jibril came, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Jibril: "O Jibril! Which place is best?" He said: I do not know. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Which place is worst?" He said: I do not know. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Ask your Lord."
