Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: It was said: "O Messenger of Allah, who is the most honorable among people?" He replied: "The most pious among them." They said: "We are not asking you about this." He said: "Then, Yusuf (Joseph), the prophet of Allah, son of the prophet of Allah, son of the prophet of Allah, son of the intimate friend of Allah." They said: "We are not asking you about this." He said: "Are you then asking me about the origins of the Arabs?
The best of them in the pre-Islamic era are the best of them in Islam, provided that they acquire religious knowledge."

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قِيلَ: يا رسُول الله، مَن أَكرم النَّاس، قال: اتقاهم، فقالوا: لَيس عن هذا نَسأُلُك، قال: «فَيُوسُفُ نَبِيُّ الله ابنُ نَبِيِّ الله ابنِ نَبِيِّ الله ابنِ خَلِيلِ اللهِ» قالوا: لَيس عَن هذا نَسأَلُك، قال: «فعَن مَعَادِن العَرَب تسأَلُوني؟ خِيَارُهُم في الجاهِليَّة خِيَارُهُم في الإِسلام إذا فَقُهُوا».
