Sharḥ Riyāḍ al-ṢāliḥīnIbn al-'Uthaymin

he obtains two great benefits:
The first benefit: Allah raises him by it one degree—meaning a higher station with Him and esteem in people’s hearts; and the same applies to every righteous deed you perform: through it Allah elevates you one degree.
The second benefit: He erases from you one sin. A person attains completeness when what he dislikes is removed and what he loves is secured. Being elevated in rank is something a person loves, whereas sins are what he detests. Thus, if a degree is raised for him and a sin is wiped away on account of that prostration, he has achieved his goal and escaped what he feared.

108 – Fourteenth ḥadith: ʿAbū Ṣafwān ʿAbd Allah ibn Busr al-Aslamī narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “The best of people is the one whose life is long and whose deeds are good.” Reported by al-Tirmidhī, who classified it as ḥasan (sound).
(Busr: with a ḍamma on the bāʾ and an un-dotted sīn.)
[Explanation]
Regarding the ḥadith of ʿAbd Allah ibn Busr, the Prophet ﷺ said, “The best of people is the one whose life is long and whose deeds are good,” because the longer a person lives in obedience to Allah, the nearer he draws to Allah and the higher his rank becomes in the Hereafter; every deed he performs during those added years brings him closer to his Lord. Therefore, the best of people is the one who is granted both of these blessings.

أنه يحصل له فائدتان عظيمتان: الفائدة الأولى: أن الله يرفعه بها درجة، يعني منزلة عنده وفي قلوب الناس، وكذلك في عملك الصالح؛ يرفعك الله به درجة. والفائدة الثانية: يحط عنك بها خطيئة، والإنسان يحصل له الكمال بزوال ما يكره، وحصول ما يحب، فرفع الدرجات مما يحبه الإنسان، والخطايا مما يكره الإنسان، فإذا رفع له درجة وحط عنه بها خطيئة؛ فقد حصل على مطلوبه، ونجا من مرهوبه. * * * ١٠٨ ـ الرابع عشر: عن أبي صفوان عبد الله بن بشر الأسلمي ﵁ قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: (خير الناس من طال عمره وحسن عمله) رواه الترمذي. وقال: حديث حسن. (بسر) بضم الباء، وبالسين المهملة. [الشَّرْحُ] أما حديث عبد الله بن بسر، قول النبي ﷺ: (خير الناس من طال عمره وحسن عمله) لأن الإنسان كلما طال عمره في طاعة الله زاد قرباً إلى الله وزاد رفعة في الآخرة؛ لأن كل عمل يعمله فيما زاد فيه عمره فهو يقربه إلى ربه ﷿ فخير الناس من وفق لهذين الأمرين.
