English translation

[6161] 168 - (2378) It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: "It was said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, who is the most honored of people?' He said: 'The one with the most Taqwa.' They said: 'This is not what we are asking about.' He said: 'Yûsuf, the Prophet of Allâh, the son of the Prophet of Allâh, the son of the Prophet of Allâh, the son of the Khalîl (Close Friend) of Allâh.' They said: 'This is not what we are asking about.' He said: 'Are you asking about the lineages of the Arabs then? The best of them during the Jâhiliyyah are the best of them in Islam, when they gain understanding (of the religion).'"

168 - (2378) حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَعُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَنْ أَكْرَمُ النَّاسِ؟ قَالَ: «أَتْقَاهُمْ» قَالُوا: لَيْسَ عَنْ هَذَا نَسْأَلُكَ، قَالَ: «فَيُوسُفُ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ابْنُ نَبِيِّ اللهِ ابْنِ نَبِيِّ اللهِ ابْنِ خَلِيلِ اللهِ» قَالُوا: لَيْسَ عَنْ هَذَا نَسْأَلُكَ، قَالَ «فَعَنْ مَعَادِنِ الْعَرَبِ تَسْأَلُونِي؟ خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ، إِذَا فَقُهُوا»
