حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَفْصٍ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ ؟ قَالَ : " مَنْ طَالَ عُمُرُهُ وَحَسُنَ عَمَلُهُ " قَالَ : فَأَيُّ النَّاسِ شَرٌّ ؟ قَالَ : " مَنْ طَالَ عُمُرُهُ وَسَاءَ عَمَلُهُ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
´'Abdur-Rahman bin Abi-Bakrah narrated from his father that a man said:` "O Messenger of Allah! Which of the people is the best?" He said: "He whose life is long and his deeds are good." He said: "Then which of the people is the worst?" He said: "He whose life is long and his deeds are bad."

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
The status and position that capital and principal hold in the eyes of a merchant is the same as that of time.
A merchant is always desirous of increasing his capital;
similarly, one who is granted a long life should ensure that his time is spent as much as possible in righteous deeds.
If he preserves the capital of his life in this way, then just as a merchant who seeks to increase his capital often earns profit,
in the same way, he too will continue to reap benefit.
Note:
(In the chain of narration, Ali ibn Zayd ibn Jud'an is a weak narrator,
but on the basis of corroborating evidence, as with the previous hadith, this hadith is authentic.)
