Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 2793 — Intellect and its virtue

It is narrated from Suwayd bin Ghafalah (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) came out one day and met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the way. He said: "O Messenger of Allah! What (message) have you come with?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The intellect." He asked: "What have you been commanded with?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "With the intellect." He said: "On what basis will people be recompensed and punished on the Day of Resurrection?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the basis of the intellect." He said: "What is the reality and recognition of the intellect for us?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, there is no limit to the intellect (in its perfection); but whoever holds lawful what Allah has made lawful and holds unlawful what He has made unlawful, he alone is called 'intelligent'. So if a person strives hard in worship and attains a high station in the ranks of good works, but he does not have the intellect that shows him the way to follow the command of Allah Almighty and to avoid what He has forbidden, then such people are 'the greatest losers in respect of deeds, those whose effort is lost in the life of this world while they think that they are doing well in their work' [Surah al-Kahf: 103-104], 'the worst losers in terms of deeds, whose entire striving in the worldly life went to waste while they remained under the impression that they were doing very good works.'"
The chain of this hadith contains a narrator named Nasr bin Tarif "Abu Jaz'", whom Imam al-Bukhari and other imams of narrator criticism declared "matruk al-hadith" (abandoned in hadith) and a "kadhdhab" (liar); therefore this report is very weak and fabricated.
