It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! On what basis do people gain excellence and superiority over one another in this world?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the intellect." I said: "And in the Hereafter (what will be the standard of excellence)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There too it will be on the basis of the intellect." I said: "But they will be recompensed for their deeds (so why mention the intellect)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(O Aishah!) Have they done any deed except in the measure of the intellect that Allah Almighty granted them? The reality is that their deeds were in accordance with the intellect they were given, and in proportion to the deeds they did they will be given recompense and reward."
The chain of this report contains Dawud bin al-Muhabbar and Maysarah bin Abd Rabbih, who are lying narrators; therefore this report is mawdu' (fabricated).
