Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 2784 — Intellect and its virtue

حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ ، ثَنَا عَتَّابُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ لُوطٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا ، قَالَ : كَثُرَتِ الْمَسَائِلُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، إِنَّ لِكُلِّ سَبِيلٍ مَطِيَّةً وَبَيْعَةً وَحُجَّةً وَاضِحَةً ، وَأَوْثَقُ النَّاسِ مَطِيَّةً ، وَأَحْسَنُهُمْ دَلَالَةً وَمَعْرِفَةً بِالصِّحَّةِ أَفْضَلُهُمْ عَقْلًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked a great many questions, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O people! Indeed, for every path there is a particular mount, a covenant and pledge, and a clear proof. And among people, the one with the strongest and most reliable mount, the best guided, and with the deepest recognition of truth and soundness is the person who is foremost among them all in intellect and understanding."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this report in "al-Mu'jam al-Kabir", but the hadith scholars have criticised its authenticity because of the presence of Attab bin Abd al-Rahman and al-Rabi' bin Lut in its chain.
