أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ جُدْعَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ

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»
