Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ قَالَ مَنْ طَالَ عُمُرُهُ وَحَسُنَ عَمَلُهُ قَالَ فَأَيُّ النَّاسِ شَرٌّ قَالَ مَنْ طَالَ عُمُرُهُ وَسَاءَ عَمَلُهُ.

Yazid b. Harun narrated to us: Hammad b. 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."
