The main result of this note is that a finitely generated hyper-(Abelian-by-finite) group $G$ is finite-by-nilpotent if and only if every infinite subset contains two distinct elements $x$, $y$ such that ${\gamma }_n\left(〈x\text{,}{x}^y〉\right)$ $={\gamma }_{n+1}\left(〈x\text{,}{x}^y〉\right)$ for some positive integer $n=n(x,y)$ (respectively, $〈x,x^y〉$ is an extension of a group satisfying the minimal condition on normal subgroups by an Engel group).
