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 وَس
َلَّمَ 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
It was narrated from Abu Bakra (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked: 'Which of people is the best?' — or 'Which is the most virtuous?' Yazid doubted. He said: 'The one who lives long and does good deeds.' He was asked: 'And which of people is the worst?' He said: 'The one who lives long and does evil deeds.'
