"خَيْرُ أُمَّتى القرن الذى بُعِثْتُ فِيهم، ثم الذين يلُونَهُم، ثم الذين يلُونَهُم، ثمَ يخْلُفُ قَوْمٌ يُحِبُّون السَّمانَةَ يشْهدُونَ قبل أَن يُسْتَشهَدُوا".
The best age of my Umma is one in which I was sent (by Allah as an Apostle), then the one next to that. (The narrator said): And Allah knows best whether he stated this third (time) or not. Then there would come people who would love (to look) bulky and they would hasten to the witness box before they are asked to bear witness.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَيْرُ أُمَّتِي الْقَرْنُ الَّذِينَ بُعِثْتُ فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ أَذَكَرَ الثَّالِثَ أَمْ لاَ قَالَ ثُمَّ يَخْلُفُ قَوْمٌ يُحِبُّونَ السَّمَانَةَ يَشْهَدُونَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْتَشْهَدُوا

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرُ أُمَّتِي الْقَرْنُ الَّذِي بُعِثْتُ فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ أَقَالَ الثَّالِثَةَ أَمْ لَا ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ قَوْمٌ يُحِبُّونَ السَّمَانَةَ يَشْهَدُونَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْتَشْهَدُوا
[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, "The best of my Ummah (nation) are those of my generation, then those who follow them, then those who follow them. Then there will come a group of people who bear witness but are not asked to bear witness, who take oaths but are not asked to take oaths, who betray and are not trusted, and who enjoy wealth but are not praised for it."
أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «خَيْرُ أُمَّتِي الْقَرْنُ الَّذِي بُعِثْتُ فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَنْشَأُ أَقْوَامٌ يَشْهَدُونَ وَلَا يُسْتَشْهَدُونَ وَيَحْلِفُونَ وَلَا يُسْتَحْلَفُونَ وَيَخُونُونَ وَلَا يُؤْتَمَنُونَ وَيَفْشُو فِيهِمُ السِّمَنُ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The best of my Ummah (nation) is the generation in which I am living, then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then there will come a people who will become overweight, love fat (riches), and give testimony without being asked for it."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «خَيْرُ أُمَّتِي الْقَرْنُ الَّذِي أَنَا فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ قَوْمٌ يُسَمِّنُونَ وَيُحِبُّونَ السِّمَنَ وَيُعْطُونَ الشَّهَادَةَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُسْأَلُوهَا»
"خَيْرُ أُمتى القرنُ الذين بُعِثْت فِيهِم، ثم الذين يلُونَهُم، ثم الذين يلُونَهُم".
