حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ
سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: 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

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ was asked: "Which people are the most noble?" He said: "The most noble of them in the sight of God, Mighty and Majestic, are the most God-fearing of them." They said: "We are not asking you about this, O Messenger of God." He said: "Then the most noble of people is Yusuf, son of the Prophet of God, son of the Prophet of God, son of the Friend of God." They said: "Yes." He said: "Then the best of them in the time of ignorance are the best of them in Islam, when they gain understanding."
