[Machine] About the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ that he said, "The best people are my generation, then those who come after them, then those who come after them." He said, "And I do not know whether he said it in the third or fourth generation." Then there will come after them a generation that witnesses by oath, and their oath will suffice them.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ قَرْنِي ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ قَالَ وَلَا أَدْرِي قَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَوْ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ ثُمَّ يَخْلُفُ بَعْدَهُمْ خَلْفٌ يَسْبِقُ شَهَادَةُ أَحَدِهِمْ يَمِينَهُ وَيَمِينُهُ شَهَادَتَهُ  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "The best of people are my generation, then those who follow them, and then a people will come who will make vows but will not fulfill them, and they will bear witness but will not be trusted, and they will betray and cannot be trusted, and they will be given authority but will not be righteous, and they will indulge in fatty foods. Abu Al-Fadl commented on his narration that he heard Ahmad ibn Salamah say: "They will make vows only according to the narration of Hisham from the companions of Qatadah."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ قَرْنِي ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَنْشَأُ قَوْمٌ يَنْذِرُونَ وَلَا يُوفُونَ وَيَحْلِفُونَ وَلَا يُسْتَحْلَفُونَ وَيَخُونُونَ وَلَا يُؤْتَمَنُونَ وَيَشْهَدُونَ وَلَا يُسْتَشْهَدُونَ وَيَفْشُو فِيهُمُ السِّمَنُ قَالَ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ سَمِعْتُ أَحْمَدَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ يَقُولُ يَحْلِفُونَ لَيْسَ إِلَّا فِي حَدِيثِ هِشَامٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ قَتَادَةَ  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "The best of my ummah (nation) is the generation in which I was sent, then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then there will come a people who will bear witness but not be trusted, who will betray their trust, who will make false oaths but not fulfill them, and who will indulge in worldly pleasures."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرُ أُمَّتِي الْقَرْنُ الَّذِي بُعِثْتُ فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي قَوْمٌ يَنْذِرُونَ وَلَا يُوفُونَ وَيَخُونُونَ وَلَا يُؤْتَمَنُونَ وَيَشْهَدُونَ وَلَا يُسْتَشْهَدُونَ وَيَفْشُو فِيهُمُ السِّمَنُ هَكَذَا
