Sahih al-Bukhari 3353

Translation

It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, who is the most honorable of people?" He said, "The most God-fearing of them." They said, "That is not what we are asking you about." He said, "Then Yusuf, the Prophet of Allah ﷻ, son of the Prophet of Allah ﷻ, son of the Prophet of Allah ﷻ, son of the intimate friend of Allah ﷻ." They said, "That is not what we are asking you about." He said, "Then you are asking about the lineages of the Arabs. The best of them in the Age of Ignorance are the best of them in Islam, if they gain understanding."
