3353. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The people said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Who is the most honourable amongst the people (with Allāh)?" He said, "Al-Muttaqūn(1) (the most pious and righteous) amongst them." They said, "We do not ask you about this." He said, "Then Yūsuf (Joseph), Allāh's Prophet, the son of Allāh's Prophet, the son of Allāh's Prophet the son of Allāh's Khalīl(2) [i.e., Ibrāhīm (Abraham)]." They said, "We do not want to ask about this." He said "Then you want to ask about the descent of the Arabs. Those who were the best in the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance will be the best in Islām provided they comprehend the religious knowledge."

3353 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ: مَنْ أَكْرَمُ النَّاسِ؟ قَالَ: «أَتْقَاهُمْ» فَقَالُوا: لَيْسَ عَنْ هَذَا نَسْأَلُكَ، قَالَ: «فَيُوسُفُ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ، ابْنُ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ، ابْنِ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ، ابْنِ خَلِيلِ اللَّهِ» قَالُوا: لَيْسَ عَنْ هَذَا نَسْأَلُكَ، قَالَ: «فَعَنْ مَعَادِنِ العَرَبِ تَسْأَلُونِ؟ خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الجَاهِلِيَّةِ خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ، إِذَا فَقُهُوا» قَالَ: أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، وَمُعْتَمِرٌ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
