Translation Kanz-ul-Iman: O people! We have indeed created you from one man and one woman, and have made you into various nations and tribes that you may recognise one another. Indeed the most honourable amongst you, according to Allah, is one who is most pious amongst you. Indeed Allah is All-Knowing
All-Aware. (Surah Al-Hujurat, part. 26, Ayah 13) (Noor-ul-Irfan)
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ reported: Allah’s Most Beloved Messenger صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم declared: “Undoubtedly Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has removed from you the vanity and boasting due to heritage (Nasab) from the ignorant-era (Jaahiliyyah); now there are either pious Muslims or evil and doomed ones.” (Sunan-e-Tirmizi, vol. 5, pp. 297, Hadees 3981)

(Tareekh-e-Baghdad, vol. 11, pp. 337, number 172)

Even though they may not be respected or valued in society due to their pitiable financial statuses; yet on the Judgement day they will rise with extreme distinction and prominence.
