3374. Narrated Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Some people asked the Prophet ﷺ: "Who is the most honourable amongst the people?" He replied, "The most honourable among them is the one who fears Allāh and keeps his duty to Him" They said, "O Allāh's Prophet! We do not ask about this." He said, "Then 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 Khalīl." They said, "We do not ask about this." He said, "Then you want to ask me about the Arabs descent?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Those who were best in the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance are the best in Islām, if they comprehend (the religious knowledge)."

3374 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، سَمِعَ المُعْتَمِرَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ المَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قِيلَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مَنْ أَكْرَمُ النَّاسِ؟ قَالَ «أَكْرَمُهُمْ أَتْقَاهُمْ» قَالُوا: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، 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» قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «فَخِيَارُكُمْ فِي الجَاهِلِيَّةِ خِيَارُكُمْ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ إِذَا فَقُهُوا»
