"the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) was asked: Who are the best of people? He said: Those who are most beneficial to people." It was recorded by Abū Isḥāq al-Muzakkī in "al-Fawāʾid al-Muntakhabah" (1/147/2) from Khunays ibn Bakr ibn Khunays: My father Bakr ibn Khunays narrated to me from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Dīnār from him. I said: And Khunays ibn Bakr, Ṣāliḥ Jazrah said: "Weak." And Ibn Ḥibbān mentioned him in "al-Thiqāt." He was followed by Ibrāhīm ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd al-Jurashī who informed us from Bakr ibn Khunays with it. It was recorded by Ibn ʿAsākir (11/444/1). And this Ibrāhīm, I think, is the one in "al-Jarḥ wa-al-Taʿdīl" (1/1/113): "Ibrāhīm ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd, Abū Isḥāq, narrated from Dāwūd ibn ʿAmr, narrated from him al-Walīd ibn Muslim, Abū Zurʿah said: He seems to be from Ḥimṣ, there is no harm in him." I said: So the isnād with this follow-up is ḥasan, because Bakr ibn Khunays is truthful but makes mistakes as the ḥāfiẓ said, and it is supported by the ḥadīth of Jābir. He was also followed by Sukayn ibn Abī Sirāj who informed us from ʿAmr ibn Dīnār with it similarly. It was recorded by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr" (3/209/2). But this Sukayn is not well-known. Then it became clear to me that he is accused, so refer to the ḥadīth (903). In summary, this addition in the ḥadīth is established in it at the rank of ḥasan like its original or higher, and it was strengthened by the ḥāfiẓ al-Sakhāwī in "al-Maqāṣid."
