2330. 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abī Bakrah narrated from his father that a man said: "O Messenger of Allāh! Which of the people is the best?" He said: "He whose life is long and his deeds are good." He said: "Then which of the people is the worst?" He said: "He whose life is long and his deeds are bad."(Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
٢٣٣٠ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَفْصٍ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، «أَنَّ رَجُلًا» قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ: مَنْ طَالَ عُمُرُهُ وَحَسُنَ عَمَلُهُ قَالَ: فَأَيُّ النَّاسِ شَرٌّ؟ قَالَ: مَنْ طَالَ عُمُرُهُ وَسَاءَ عَمَلُهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

If success and prosperity in the Hereafter is linked to man's good deeds, then the more good deeds a person has performed the better he will be and, by the same token, the more bad deeds a person has accumulated the worse as an individual he will be.
