عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: أَي النَّاس أكْرم؟ فَقَالَ: «أَكْرَمُهُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاهُمْ» . قَالُوا: لَيْسَ عَنْ هَذَا نَسْأَلُكَ. قَالَ: «فَأَكْرَمُ النَّاسِ يُوسُفُ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ابْنُ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ابْنِ خَلِيلِ اللَّهِ» . قَالُوا: لَيْسَ عَن هَذَا نَسْأَلك. قَالَ: «فَمِمَّنْ مَعَادِنِ الْعَرَبِ تَسْأَلُونِي؟» قَالُوا: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: فَخِيَارُكُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ خِيَارُكُمْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ إِذَا فَقُهُوا ". مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ
AbuHurayrah Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم was asked, "Which of the people is most honourable?" He said, "The most honourable of them in Allah's sight is the most righteous of them." They submitted, "This is not what we ask."He said, "The most honourable of the people was Yusuf, prophet of Allah, son of Allah's Prophet (Ya'qub) عليه السلام, son of Allah's Prophet (Ishaq) عليه السلام son of Allah's friend (Ibrahim) عليه السلام, But, they again submitted, "This is not what we ask." So, he asked, "Then do you ask me about the tribal nobility and honour?" They submitted, "Yes!" He said, "The best of you in the jahiliyah (ignorance period) are the best of you in Islam provided they are knowledge in the laws of Islam and Shari'ah (divine law)" [1]
