2264. 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Shall I not inform you of the best of your leaders and the worst of them: The best of them are those whom you love and they love you, you supplicate for them, and they supplicate for you. And the vilest of your leaders are those who hate you, and you hate them, and they curse you and you curse them." (Sahih)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is [Hasan] Gharīb, we do not know of it except as a narration of Muḥammad bin Abī Humaid, and Muḥammad was graded weak due to his memory.
