حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَكْرَمُ النَّاسِ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَتْقَاهُمْ ‏"‏ . قَالُوا لَيْسَ عَنْ هَذَا نَسْأَلُكَ . قَالَ ‏"‏ فَيُوسُفُ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ابْنُ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ابْنِ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ابْنِ خَلِيلِ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ . قَالُوا لَيْسَ عَنْ هَذَا نَسْأَلُكَ . قَالَ ‏"‏ فَعَنْ مَعَادِنِ الْعَرَبِ تَسْأَلُونِي خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ إِذَا فَقِهُوا ‏"‏ .

English translation
Abu Huraira reported: It was said to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as to who was the most worthy of respect amongst people. He said: The most God-conscious amongst you They said: It is not this that we are asking about, whereupon he said: Then he is Yusuf, the Apostle of Aliah and the son of Allah's Apostle, Ya'qub, who was also the son of Allah's Apostle, the friend of Allah (Ibrahim) They said: This is not what we are asking you. He said: You mean the tribes of Arabia? Those who are good in pre-Islamic days are good in Islam (after embracing Islam) when they get an understanding of it

যুহায়র ইবনু হারব, মুহাম্মাদ ইবনুল মুসান্না ও উবাইদুল্লাহ ইবনু সাঈদ (রহঃ) ..... আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাযিঃ) হতে বর্ণিত যে, রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম কে জিজ্ঞেস করা হলো, হে আল্লাহর রসূল! মানুষের মাঝে সবচাইতে সম্মানিত ব্যক্তি কে? তিনি বললেনঃ তাদের মাঝে সর্বোত্তম মুত্তাকী ব্যক্তি। প্রশ্নকারীরা বললেন, আমরা এ ব্যাপারে আপনাকে প্রশ্ন করছি না। তিনি বললেনঃ তবে ইউসুফ (আঃ) আল্লাহর নবী এবং আল্লাহর নবীর সন্তান, যিনি আল্লাহর খলীলের পুত্র। তারা বলল, এ ব্যাপারেও আমরা আপনাকে জিজ্ঞেস করিনি। তিনি বললেনঃ তবে কি তোমরা আরবের বংশ-উৎস সম্বন্ধে প্রশ্ন করছ? জাহিলী যুগে যারা তাদের মাঝে উত্তম ছিল ইসলামের পরও তারাই উত্তম বলে গণ্য, তারা যদি দীনের ইলম অর্জন করে (ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন ৫৯৪৬, ইসলামিক সেন্টার)
