أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَامَ تَبُوكَ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ وَهُوَ مُسْنِدٌ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ فَقَالَ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ النَّاسِ وَشَرِّ النَّاسِ؟ إِنَّ مِنْ خَيْرِ النَّاسِ رَجُلًا عَمِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ عَلَى ظَهْرِ فَرَسِهِ أَوْ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَعِيرِهِ أَوْ عَلَى قَدَمِهِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ الْمَوْتُ وَإِنَّ مِنْ شَرِّ النَّاسِ رَجُلًا فَاجِرًا يَقْرَأُ كِتَابَ اللهِ لَا يَرْعَوِي إِلَى شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ»

✧ In the year of Tabuk, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was addressing the people while leaning his back against his riding camel. He said, 'Shall I tell you about the best of people and the worst of people? Among the best of people is a man who works in the cause of Allah on the back of his horse, or on the back of his camel, or on his feet, until death comes to him. And among the worst of people is a wicked man who recites the Book of Allah but does not refrain from anything in it.'
