3383. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was asked, "Who is the most honourable amongst the people?" He replied, "The one who fears Allāh and keeps his duty to Him". The people said, "We do not want to ask you about this." He said, "The most honourable person is Yūsuf (Joseph), Allāh's Prophet, the son of Allāh's Prophet, the son of Allāh's Prophet, the son of Allāh's Khalil (intimate friend)." The people said, "We do not want to ask you about this." He said, "Then you want to ask me about the metal (origins) of the Arabs? People are like metals (of various natures and origins). The best in the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance are the best in Islām, provided they comprehend (the religious knowledge)."

3383 - حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَنْ أَكْرَمُ النَّاسِ؟ قَالَ: «أَتْقَاهُمْ لِلَّهِ» قَالُوا: لَيْسَ عَنْ هَذَا نَسْأَلُكَ، قَالَ: «فَأَكْرَمُ النَّاسِ يُوسُفُ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ، ابْنُ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ، ابْنِ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ، ابْنِ خَلِيلِ اللَّهِ» قَالُوا: لَيْسَ عَنْ هَذَا نَسْأَلُكَ، قَالَ: «فَعَنْ مَعَادِنِ العَرَبِ تَسْأَلُونِي؟ النَّاسُ مَعَادِنُ، خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الجَاهِلِيَّةِ خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ، إِذَا فَقُهُوا»، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهَذَا
