2329. 'Abdullāh bin Busr narrated that a Bedouin said: "O Messenger of Allāh! Who is the best of the people?" He said: "He whose life is long and his deeds are good." There are narrations on this topic from Abū Hurairah and Jābir. (Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb from this route.
٢٣٢٩ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ حُبَابٍ ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ، «أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا» قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَنْ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ؟ قَالَ: مَنْ طَالَ عُمْرُهُ وَحَسُنَ عَمَلُهُ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَجَابِرٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ، غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ.

Man's success and prosperity in the Hereafter is linked to his good deeds. If, alongside long life, he is also enabled to perform virtuous deeds, then it could surely give him ascendance in rank. It is in this situation that long age becomes a desirable proposition for man.
