Arabic (Original)
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْبُلْدَانِ شَرٌّ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَا أَدْرِي فَلَمَّا أَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام قَالَ يَا جِبْرِيلُ أَيُّ الْبُلْدَانِ شَرٌّ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَانْطَلَقَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام ثُمَّ مَكَثَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَمْكُثَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّكَ سَأَلْتَنِي أَيُّ الْبُلْدَانِ شَرٌّ فَقُلْتُ لَا أَدْرِي وَإِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَيُّ الْبُلْدَانِ شَرٌّ فَقَالَ أَسْوَاقُهَا.
English Translation
He said: Abu Amir told us, he said: Zuhayr ibn Muhammad told us, from Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Aqil, from Muhammad ibn Jubayr ibn Mut'im, from his father, that a man came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: O Messenger of Allah, which town is worst? He said: I do not know. Then when Gabriel, peace be upon him, came to him, he said: O Gabriel, which town is worst? He said: I do not know until I ask my Lord, Mighty and Sublime. So Gabriel, peace be upon him, went away, then he stayed as long as Allah willed him to stay, then he came and said: O Muhammad, you asked me which town is worst, and I said I do not know, and I asked my Lord, Mighty and Sublime, which town is worst, and He said: Its markets.
