Sahih al-Bukhari 3383 (Book 60, Hadith 57) #3235
Honoring Those Who Fear Allah

SUMMARY: The most honorable person is the one who fears Allah, and the best in pre-Islamic period are the best in Islam if they understand religious knowledge.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger ﷺ was asked, "Who is the most honorable amongst the people?" He replied, "The most Allah fearing". The people said, "We do not want to ask you about this". He said, "The most honorable person is Joseph, Allah's Prophet, the son of Allah's Prophet, the son of Allah's Prophet, the son of Allah's Khalil" The people said, 'We do not want to ask you about this". He said," Then you want to ask me about the origins of the Arabs? People are of various origins. The best in the pre-Islamic period are the best in Islam, provided they comprehend (the religious knowledge).
