2018. Jābir narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Indeed the most beloved among
you to me, and the nearest to sit with me on the Day of Judgement is the best of you in character. And indeed, the most disliked among you to me, and the one sitting furthest from me on the Day of Judgement are the Tharṭhārūn, and the Mutashaddiqūn, and the Mutafaihiqūn.” They said: “O Messenger of Allāh! We know about the Tharṭhārūn, and the Mutashaddiqūn, but what about the Mutafaihiqūn?” He said: “The arrogant.” (Hasan)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] There is something on this topic from Abū Hurairah.
This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb from this route.
The Tharṭhār is the one who is excessive in speech, and the Mutashaddiq is the one who talks about people unnecessarily and reviles them.
Some of them narrated this Hadīth from Al-Mubārak bin Faḍālah, from Muḥammad bin Al-Munkadir, from Jābir, from the Prophet ﷺ, without mentioning “from ‘Abd Rabbih bin Sa‘eed” in it, and this is more correct.

Commentary
We learn from the Hadīth that excellence of character is what makes the man lovable in this world and deserving of the Prophet’s closeness in the Hereafter. Affection and making a show of one’s civility accompanied by boasting, bragging and excessive speech, on the other hand, are detested in every civilized society in the world. In the Hereafter too, these traits shall drive the person away from the company of the Prophet ﷺ.
