حَدَّثَنَا هَيْثَمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ يَعْنِي الصَّنْعَانِيَّ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَفَ عَلَى نَاسٍ جُلُوسٍ، فَقَالَ: " أَلَا (٣) أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِكُمْ مِنْ شَرِّكُمْ؟ " فَسَكَتَ الْقَوْمُ، فَأَعَادَهَا، ، ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: بَلَى، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: " خَيْرُكُمْ مَنْ يُرْجَى خَيْرُهُ، وَيُؤْمَنُ شَرُّهُ، وَشَرُّكُمْ مَنْ لَا يُرْجَى خَيْرُهُ، وَلَا يُؤْمَنُ شَرُّهُ " (١)،

English translation
It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a group of people were sitting in one place when the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) came to them and stood and said, "Shall I tell you who among you is the best and who is the worst?" The people remained silent. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) repeated his statement three times. Then one of them said, "Why not, O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?" He said, "The best among you is the one from whom good is expected and people are safe from his evil, and the worst among you is the one from whom no good is expected and people are not safe from his evil."
