Arabic hadith text

وَعَن ابْن عَبَّاس رَضِي الله عَنْهُمَا قَالَتْ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِشَرِّ النَّاسِ مَنْزِلًا؟ قِيلَ: نَعَمْ قَالَ: الَّذِي يُسْأَلُ بِاللَّهِ وَلَا يُعْطِي بِهِ ". رَوَاهُ أَحْمد

Translation

Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, said: The Prophet ﷺ said, ‘Shall I tell you who is worst in standing?’ They said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘The one who is asked in the name of Allah and does not give in His name.’ Ahmad transmitted it.

Translation notes

  • The Arabic uses a broad expression for ‘worst in standing/position’; the English witness renders it ‘worst position.’
