Chapter 43 · General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab)حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ. ح، وحَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: إِذَا سَمِعْتَ، وَقَالَ مُوسَى: إِذَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ هَلَكَ النَّاسُ فَهُوَ أَهْلَكُهُمْ ، قال أبو داود: قَالَ مَالِكٌ: إِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ تَحَزُّنًا لِمَا يَرَى فِي النَّاسِ: يَعْنِي فِي أَمْرِ دِينِهِمْ، فَلَا أَرَى بِهِ بَأْسًا، وَإِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ عُجْبًا بِنَفْسِهِ وَتَصَاغُرًا لِلنَّاسِ، فَهُوَ الْمَكْرُوهُ الَّذِي نُهِيَ عَنْهُ.

The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: When you hear. . . . (Musa's version has): When a man says people have perished, he is the one who has suffered that fate most. Abu Dawud said: Malik said: If he says that out of sadness for the decadence of religion which he sees among the people, I do not think there is any harm in that. If he says that out of self-conceit and servility of the people, it is an abominable act which has been prohibited.
