Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ ابْنِ خُثَيْمٍ عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخِيَارِكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا رُءُوا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِشِرَارِكُمْ الْمَشَّاءُونَ بِالنَّمِيمَةِ الْمُفْسِدُونَ بَيْنَ الْأَحِبَّةِ الْبَاغُونَ لِلْبُرَآءِ الْعَنَتَ.
English Translation
Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, Ma'mar informed us, from Ibn Khuthaym, from Shahr ibn Hawshab, from Asma' bint Yazid, that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Shall I not inform you of the best among you?" They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Those whom, when they are seen, Allah is remembered." Then he said: "Shall I not inform you of the worst among you? The tale-bearers who cause corruption between loved ones, who seek to burden the innocent with trouble."
