Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that it was asked from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), "Who is the most noble?" He replied, "The one who is the most God-fearing." He said, "We are not asking you about this." So he replied, "Then the most noble is Allah's Prophet Yusuf (peace be upon him), who is the son of Allah's Prophet, who is the son of Allah's Prophet, who is the son of Allah's Khalil (friend)." Peace be upon them.
