[Machine] I arrived in Basra and there, I found a man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ , not Anas ibn Malik, who said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The best of people are my generation, then those who follow them, then those who follow them, then there will come a people whose testimony will be accepted without being asked for."  

قَدِمْتُ الْبَصْرَةَ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَيْسَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «خَيْرُ النَّاسِ قَرْنِي ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ قَوْمٌ سِمَانٌ يُعْطُونَ الشَّهَادَةَ وَلَا يُسْأَلُونَهَا»
