[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
