حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْکَاهِلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ ابْن عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا وَجَعَلْنَاکُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا قَالَ الشُّعُوبُ الْقَبَائِلُ الْعِظَامُ وَالْقَبَائِلُ الْبُطُونُ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 3490
Narrated Abu Huraira: Once Allah's Apostle was asked, "Who is the most honorable amongst the people?" He said, "The most righteous (i.e. Allah-fearing) amongst you." They said, "We do not ask you about this." He said, "Then Joseph, the prophet of Allah."
