    I would also like to know the ruling on the following:

    A person ascribes to the view that Sayyiduna Ibrahim (may peace be upon him) is the best of creation.

    He cites the following hadith as his proof:
    Anas ibn Malik reported that a person came to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said: O, the best of creation;thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: He is Ibrahim (peace be upon him). [Sahih Muslim Book 030, Hadith Number 5841]

    And there is another person who holds the view that Sayyiduna Yusuf (may peace be upon him) is the best of creation.

    He cites the following hadith as his proof: Narrated By Abu Huraira : Allah's Apostle was asked, "Who are the most honorable of the people?" The Prophet said, "The most honorable of them in Allah's Sight are those who keep their duty to Allah and fear Him. They said, "We do not ask you about that." He said, "Then the most honorable of the people is Joseph, Allah's prophet, the son of Allah's prophet, the son of Allah's prophet, the son of Allah's Khalil i.e. Abraham) They said, "We do not ask you about that." The Prophet said, Do you ask about (the virtues of the ancestry of the Arabs?" They said, "Yes," He said, "Those who were the best amongst you in the Pre-lslamic Period are the best amongst you in Islam if they comprehend (the Islamic religion)." [Sahih Bukhari Volume 006, Book 060, Hadith Number 211]

    please note: this is only a request for a ruling.
