[Machine] "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and sat close to him, moving closer to his gathering. When he left, Aisha said to him, 'O Messenger of Allah, did you not sense any harm from this man?' He said, 'Yes, indeed, but some of the worst people are those who are only honored out of fear of their harm.'"  

أحمد:٢٤٧٩٨حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّ رَجُلًا دَخَلَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَدْنَاهُ وَقَرَّبَ مَجْلِسَهُ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قَالَتْ لَهُ عَائِشَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَمْ تَكُ تَشْكُو هَذَا الرَّجُلَ؟ قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنْ إِنَّ مِنْ شِرَارِ النَّاسِ أَوْ شَرِّ النَّاسِ الَّذِينَ إِنَّمَا يُكْرَمُونَ اتِّقَاءَ شَرِّهِمْ
