In one of his two narrations, Ibn Jarīr gives the wording:

“People are descended from Adam and Eve, like the small remainder in a sāʿ measure that does not fill it. On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will not question you about your status or your lineages: ‘Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most God-fearing of you.’”

1039 — “What excellent people are the Azd: pleasant in speech, true to their oaths, and pure in heart.”

Aḥmad narrated it (2/351): Ḥasan narrated to us; Ibn Lahīʿah narrated to us; Abū Yūnus narrated to us, from Abū Hurayrah, who attributed it to the Prophet.

I say: This is a weak chain of transmission, for Ibn Lahīʿah had poor retention. As for al-Haythamī, he said (10/49): “Aḥmad narrated it, and its chain is good.” This is what he said, despite having repeatedly and explicitly stated in this very book that Ibn Lahīʿah was weak; yet at times he says that his hadith is good. I do not know how these statements can be reconciled. Ibn Wahb did, however, narrate it from him in al-Jāmiʿ, saying (p. 6): “Ibn Lahīʿah narrated it to me,” omitting the words, “true to their oaths.” Ibn Wahb’s narrations from Ibn Lahīʿah are authentic, as was mentioned in the preceding hadith.

1040 — “The best names are ʿAbd Allah and ʿAbd al-Raḥmān; the truest names are Hammām and Ḥārith; and the worst names are Ḥarb and Murrah.”

Ibn Wahb narrated it in al-Jāmiʿ (p. 7): Dāwūd ibn Qays informed me, from ʿAbd al-Wahhāb ibn Bakht, attributing it directly to the Prophet.

I say: This is an authentic mursal chain; its narrators are reliable transmitters used by Muslim. Ibn Wahb also narrated it through ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿĀmir al-Yaḥṣubī, from the Prophet, as a mursal report. Its chain is likewise authentic. The hadith also has a connected corroborating chain through ʿUqayl ibn Shabīb, from Abū Wahb al-Jushamī
