Nafi' reported that a group of the people of Iraq visited Ibn
'Umar. They saw a gold crown on one of their servants and looked at one
another. He remarked, "How quick you are to see evil!"
Ibn Abi'l-Hudhayl said, "Messenger of Allah visited a man with
one of his companions. When he entered the house, his companion began to
look around. 'Abdullah told him, 'By Allah, it would have been better for
you if your eyes had been gouged out."
حَدَّثَنَا مَطَرٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: شِرَارُ أُمَّتِي الثَّرْثَارُونَ، الْمُشَّدِّقُونَ، الْمُتَفَيْهِقُونَ، وَخِيَارُ أُمَّتِي أَحَاسِنُهُمْ أَخْلاقًا.
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "The worst of my community are those who speak a
lot, those who are diffuse in speech and those who fill their mouth with
words. The best of my community are the best of them in character."
