From my point of view,it is not a question of Sayyids level of faith being higher then non sayyids,as there r many sayyids who r so much distanced from religion,that apart from weeping in majlises and doing maatam they dont know the A,B,C,s of religion,nor do they care and they even believe that because they r sayyids they wont be held accountable for their deeds and look down upon Non Sayyids.[Those shias who live in the areas where there is big population of Sayyids will vouch for this]
No doubt our Holy Prophet knew that this was going to happen,and thats the reason he made it clear that those who adhere to the right path are his shias even if they arent from his descendants[saadats],and those who take religion as mokery are not his shias, even if they be from his descendants[saadats].We all know that even though Salman-e farsi had no relation whatsoever with the prophet ,still the Holy prophet said ''Salmaan minna Ahlul bayt'',because of his high level of Faith and Taqwa .
So,choosing of a spouse should be done based on the level of piety[taqwa]and not by seeing whether one is Sayyid or non sayyid.
p.s;My comment shouldnt be taken in a wrong way,I am not talking about all Sayyids.I am just saying not to blindly accept that all sayyids have high level of faith then all non sayyids just because they r sayyids.
