[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, which land is the worst?" He ﷺ said, "I do not know." When Gabriel came to Muhammad ﷺ , he said, "O Gabriel, which land is the worst?" Gabriel replied, "I do not know until I ask my Lord." So Gabriel went and stayed as long as Allah willed, then he came back and said, "O Muhammad, you asked me which land is the worst? Indeed, it is its markets. 'Amr ibn Thabit is the son of Abu al-Miqdam al-Kufi, and he is not one of the two sheikhs (al-Bukhari and Muslim). I mentioned him as a witness, and the narration is from Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak, who urged me to mention him. But I have doubted the authenticity of this narration from multiple aspects."
أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْبِلَادِ شَرٌّ؟ قَالَ «لَا أَدْرِي» فَلَمَّا أَتَى جِبْرِيلُ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ قَالَ يَا جِبْرِيلُ أَيُّ الْبِلَادِ شَرٌّ؟ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ رَبِّي فَانْطَلَقَ جِبْرِيلُ فَمَكَثَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَمْكُثَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ سَأَلْتَنِي أَيُّ الْبِلَادِ شَرٌّ؟ وَإِنِّي قُلْتُ لَا أَدْرِي وَإِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي أَيُّ الْبِلَادِ شَرٌّ؟ فَقَالَ «أَسْوَاقُهَا» «عَمْرُو بْنُ ثَابِتٍ هَذَا هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي الْمِقْدَامِ الْكُوفِيُّ وَلَيْسَ مِنْ شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَإِنَّمَا ذَكَرْتُهُ شَاهِدًا وَرِوَايَةُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْهُ حَتَّى حَثَّنِي عَلَى إِخْرَاجِهِ فَإِنِّي قَدْ عَلَوْتُ فِيهِ مِنْ وَجْهٍ لَا يُعْتَمَدُ»
