Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَفْضَلُ أَوْ قَالَ خَيْرٌ شَكَّ يَزِيدُ قَالَ مَنْ طَالَ عُمْرُهُ وَحَسُنَ عَمَلُهُ قِيلَ فَأَيُّ النَّاسِ شَرٌّ قَالَ مَنْ طَالَ عُمْرُهُ وَسَاءَ عَمَلُهُ.
English Translation
Yazid told us, Hammad ibn Salamah told us, from Ali ibn Zayd, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakrah, from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was asked: "Who among people is most excellent?" - or he said "best," Yazid was uncertain - he said: "He whose life is long and whose deeds are good." It was said: "And who among people is worst?" He said: "He whose life is long and whose deeds are evil."
