حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ حُبَابٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ، أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَنْ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ ؟ قَالَ : " مَنْ طَالَ عُمُرُهُ وَحَسُنَ عَمَلُهُ " ، وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، وَجَابِرٍ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ .
