حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حَارِثَةَ بْنَ وَهْبٍ الْخُزَاعِيَّ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ أَلاَ أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ كُلُّ ضَعِيفٍ مُتَضَعِّفٍ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ لأَبَرَّهُ أَلاَ أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَهْلِ النَّارِ كُلُّ عُتُلٍّ جَوَّاظٍ مُتَكَبِّرٍ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Harithah ibn Wahb al-Khuza‘i reported that he heard the Prophet say: ‘Shall I tell you who the people of Paradise are? Every humble, unassuming person who, if he swore by Allah, Allah would fulfill his oath. Shall I tell you who the people of the Fire are? Every harsh, coarse, conceited, arrogant person.’ Abu ‘Isa said: ‘This hadith is hasan sahih.’

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The paired descriptions are expressed with several Arabic character terms (ʿutull, jawwāẓ, mutakabbir); ‘harsh, coarse, conceited, arrogant’ reflects the wording without the witness’s unsupported ‘ill-speaking.’
