Narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a man sought permission to enter upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), upon seeing him, said: "Give permission to this man, he is a bad person of his family." Then when he came in, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) treated him gently. When he left, I asked: "O Messenger of Allah! You said what you said before, then you treated him gently. (What is the reason for these two kinds of behavior)?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Aisha! The worst people in status before Allah on the Day of Resurrection will be those whom people avoid to protect themselves from their evil." In another narration: "The worst people are those whose honor is shown to avoid their evil."
