It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: It was said: "O Messenger of Allah! Who is the sayyid (master)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That is Yusuf, son of Ya'qub, son of Ishaq, son of Ibrahim (peace be upon them)." The people said: Then is there no sayyid in your Ummah? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Of course there is: a man who was given lawful wealth and blessed with generosity and magnanimity, so he drew the poor near to himself, and complaints about him were few among the people."
No one narrated this hadith from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) except Ata (may Allah have mercy on him), and no one narrated it from Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) except Nafi' Abu Hurmuz (may Allah have mercy on him); Sa'id bin Yahya al-Lakhmi (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it.
