حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَفْضَلُ؟، أَوْ قَالَ (١) : خَيْرٌ شَكَّ يَزِيدُ، قَالَ: " مَنْ طَالَ عُمْرُهُ، وَحَسُنَ عَمَلُهُ "، قِيلَ: فَأَيُّ النَّاسِ شَرٌّ؟ قَالَ: " مَنْ طَالَ عُمْرُهُ، وَسَاءَ عَمَلُهُ " (٢)،
