أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ قُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ
«تَجِدُونَ النَّاسَ مَعَادِنَ فَخِيَارُهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ إِذَا فَقُهُوا وَتَجِدُونَ خَيْرَ النَّاسِ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ أَكْرَهَهُمْ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقَعَ فِيهِ وَتَجِدُونَ مِنْ شَرِّ النَّاسِ ذَا الْوَجْهَيْنِ الَّذِي يَأْتِي هَؤُلَاءِ بِوَجْهٍ وَهَؤُلَاءِ بِوَجْهٍ»

✧ "You will find people to be like mines. The best of them in the pre-Islamic period are the best in Islam if they gain understanding. You will find the best of people in this matter (Islam) to be the one who most disliked it before entering it. And you will find among the worst of people the two-faced one who comes to these with one face and to those with another."

يرويه الزهري واختلف عنه فرواه يونس عن الزهري عن سعيد عن أبي هريرة ورواه موسى بن عقبة وابن أبي عتيق عن الزهري عن الأعرج عن أبي هريرة وقيل عن ابن أخي الزهري عن الزهري أيضا عن الأعرج عن أبي هريرة ويشبه أن يكون القولان محفوظين عن الزهري
machine translationAl-Zuhrī narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Yūnus narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from Saʿīd, from Abū Hurayrah. Mūsā b. ʿUqbah and Ibn Abī ʿAtīq narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from al-Aʿraj, from Abū Hurayrah. It is also said [that it is narrated] from the nephew of al-Zuhrī, from al-Zuhrī as well, from al-Aʿraj, from Abū Hurayrah. It seems that both versions are preserved (maḥfūẓ) from al-Zuhrī.
