Musnad Abu Ya'la al-Mawsili 150:114

Bishr ibn al-Walid al-Kindi narrated to us, Sharik narrated to us, from al-A'mash, from Mujahid, from Aisha, who said: A man entered upon the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he drew him near and brought his seating position close. When he left from his presence, I said: "O Messenger of Allah, were you not complaining about this man?" He said: "Yes, but the worst of people are those whom others honor to avoid their evil."
