Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: "Who is the best of people?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A believer who is between two noble ones."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains a narrator, Mu'awiyah bin Yahya, whose narrations are munkar (denounced).
