A person can acquire the rank of one who fasts and offers Salah by virtue of good character

Is this Hadith authentic

Sayyidah ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) narrates, I heard Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) saying:

“Verily a Mu’min by virtue of his good conduct, acquires the rank of one who fasts and stands in Salah [during the night].”

Answer

Imams Abu Dawud and Ahmad (rahimahumallah) have recorded this Hadith.
