Musnad Abi Ya'la 6562 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked who
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَكْرَمُ ؟ قَالَ : أَكْرَمُهُمْ عِنْدَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَتْقَاهُمْ ، قَالُوا : فَغَيْرَ هَذَا نَسْأَلُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، قَالَ : فَأَكْرَمُ النَّاسِ يُوسُفُ ابْنُ نَبِيِّ اللهِ ابْنِ نَبِيِّ اللهِ ابْنِ خَلِيلِ اللهِ ، قَالُوا : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَإِنَّ خِيَارَهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ ، إِذَا فَقُهُوا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked who is the most honoured of people. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The most honoured of them in the sight of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, is the most God-fearing of them." The Companions said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), that is not what we are asking you about." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then the most honoured of people is Yusuf (peace be upon him), the son of a Prophet of Allah, the grandson of a Prophet of Allah, and the great-grandson of the Friend (Khalil) of Allah." They said: "Yes (we are referring to the tribes)." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then (remember that) those of them who were best in the Jahiliyyah are the best in Islam, provided they gain understanding of the religion."
