The answer

The aforementioned Hadith was narrated by Imam Ahmad in Al-Musnad, and the meaning of "He was among the best of people in deeds" is that the one who recites this remembrance is considered among the best of people in deeds. The phrase "unless a man surpasses him" means someone who exceeds him in remembrance or performs more supplication or recitation than him.
