حدثنا قتيبة، حدثنا عبد العزيز بن محمد، عن العلاء بن عبد الرحمن، عن ابيه، عن ابي هريرة، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وقف على اناس جلوس، فقال: " الا اخبركم بخيركم من شركم؟ " قال: فسكتوا، فقال ذلك ثلاث مرات، فقال رجل: بلى يا رسول الله، اخبرنا بخيرنا من شرنا، قال: " خيركم من يرجى خيره ويؤمن شره، وشركم من لا يرجى خيره ولا يؤمن شره "، قال ابو عيسى: هذا حديث حسن صحيح.
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 2263
Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) came across some people who were sitting, so he said: 'Shall I not inform you of the best of you from your worst?' He said: They became silent, so he said that three times, then a man said: 'Of course, O Messenger of Allah! Inform us of the best among us from our worst.' He said: 'The best of you is the one whose goodness is hoped for, and people are safe from his evil. And the worst of you is he whose goodness is not hoped for, and people are not safe from his evil.'
