Abu Kurayb narrated to us: Qabisah ibn al-Layth al-Kufi narrated to us, from Mutarrif, from ‘Ata’, from Umm al-Darda’, from Abu al-Darda’, who said: I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: “Nothing placed on the Scale will weigh more heavily than good character. Through good character, its possessor will attain the rank of one who fasts and prays.” Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is gharib through this route.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The source compares the rank attained through good character with that of a person characterized by fasting and prayer; it does not specify additional details about the person’s practice.

Abu ‘Isa qualifies the report as gharib through this route.
Should this route-specific grade be retained with the report?
