Husayn narrated to us, Ibn Abi Dhi’b informed us, from Sa’id, from Isma’il ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Dhu’ayb, from ‘Ata’ ibn Yasar, from Ibn ‘Abbas, from the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him: He came out to them while they were sitting, and he said: "Shall I not tell you of the person with the best status among the people?" Then he mentioned it.
