The hadith,

عن عَبْد اللَّهِ بْن عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ( إِنَّمَا النَّاسُ كَالإِبِلِ المِائَةِ ، لاَ تَكَادُ تَجِدُ فِيهَا رَاحِلَةً )

On the authority of `Abdullah bin `Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said:

I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying, “People are just like camels, out of one hundred, one can hardly find a single camel suitable to ride.” [Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Note: Al-Imam al-Bukhari rahimahullah mentioned this hadith under the following chapter, “The disappearance of Al-Amanah باب رَفْعِ الأَمَانَةِ”. As well, Ibn Hajr رحمه الله commented on the hadith by saying,

…وَكَذَا لَا تَجِدُ فِي مِائَةٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَصْلُحُ لِلصُّحْبَة…

“Similarly out of a hundred people, one could hardly find someone suitable to take as a companion… ” End translation.
