Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: If this phrase "the worst of creation" is used in the context of Allah, as in the hadith of Umm Salimah and as in the hadith
The last hour will come only when people are wicked.لا تقوم الساعة إلا على شرار الخلق
Mishkat al-Masabih 5517
, does this phrase indicate the disbelief of those described by it in the texts?

Answer:
There is no harm in it. The worst of creation are the disbelievers. The worst of creation are the disbelievers and the polytheists.
Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah are those who have disbelieved, and theyإِنَّ شَرَّ الدَّوَابِّ عِندَ اللَّهِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَهُمْ لَا
[Al-Anfal 8:55]
,
Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah are the deaf and dumb who do not use reason.إِنَّ شَرَّ الدَّوَابِّ عِندَ اللَّهِ الصُّمُّ الْبُكْمُ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ
[Al-Anfal 8:22]
. So they are the worst. They are the disbelievers and the polytheists. Yes.
