   Assalamu Alaikum. 

I heard one incident from my father(died 20 years ago) during childhood.  The
 incident is  

A nation had reached with highest state of inhumanity, so Almighty 
Allah ordered to destroy the nation. But the angels replied "Oh 
Almighty, there's a man lives who is always praising you." 
Allah replied "then throw the city on his head because his praising does
 not inspired others to follow my instruction."

I need the reference, 
specially the name of the nation and the reference in Islamic books.
Can you help to to find the reference? 

Thank you sir.

	Wa alaikum Salam, This is one of the stories from Jewish sources. Their authenticity is very weak.
	Best Regards, Aslam Abdullah

	عن عبيد بن إسحاق العطار حدثنا عمار بن سيف، عن ال�£عمش، عن �£بي سفيان، عن جابر رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: �£وحى الله إلى ملك من الملائكة �£ن اقلب مدينة كذا وكذا على �£هلها. قال: إن فيه عبدك فلانا لم يعصك طرفة عين. قال: اقلبها عليه وعليهم فإن وجهه لم يتمعر لي ساعة قط Narrated through 'Ubaid ibn Is'hāq al-'Attār through 'Ammār ibn Saif through Al-A'mash through Abu Sufyān through Jābir that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Allah revealed to an angel among the angels to destroy so-and-so city with all of its people. He [the angel] said: "Therein is Your Servant. He never disobeyed You, not even for a blink of an eye." He [Allah] said: "Turn it over on him and them, for his face never showed signs of displeasure for My Sake." _{— Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, Vol. 7, pp. 336, Hadith 7661} The name of the place was also not specified in the narration in Ihyā' 'Ulum ad-Dīn 2/310 by Al-Ghazāli, nor in Jam' al-Fawā'id 4/326/7908 by Mohammad ibn Sulaiman al-Maghribi, nor in Mishkāt al-Masābīh 4/1426/5152 by Abu 'Abdullah At-Tabrīzi, nor in Mu'jam Ibn Al-A'rābi 3/948/2016 by Abu Sa'īd Ibn Al-A'rābi, nor in Sho'ab al-Imān 11/74/7189 by Al-Bayhaqi. All of them had the same narration chain. The hadith is graded as da'īf jiddan (very weak) by Muhammad Nasiruddin al-Albani. (see Jami' at-Tirmidhi, Vol. 5, Book 44, Hadith 3057 — "When the people see the wrongdoer, and they do not stop him from doing wrong, then it is soon that Allah shall envelop them in a punishment from Him.").
