English Translation

Yunus b. Muhammad narrated to us: Hammad — meaning Ibn Salama — narrated to us, from 'Ali b. Zayd, from 'Abd al-Rahman b. Abi Bakra, from his father, that a man said: "O Messenger of God, who among the people is best?" He said: "He whose life is long and whose deeds are good." He said: "Then who among the people is worst?" He said: "He whose life is long and whose deeds are bad." Yunus — meaning Ibn Muhammad — narrated to us: Hammad narrated to us, from Yunus and Humayd, from al-Hasan, from Abu Bakra, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, the like of it.
