Sahih Muslim 2378 (Book 43, Hadith 219) #13244
Respect for All People

SUMMARY: The most worthy of respect amongst people is the one who is most God-conscious, and those who were good in pre-Islamic days are still good in Islam when they understand it.

Abu Huraira reported: It was said to Allah's Messenger 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.
