"خيرُ النَّاسِ قَرْنى، ثم الثَّانى، ثم الثالثُ، ثم يجئُ قومٌ لَا خيرَ فيهم".
Of the generation to which I belong, then of the second generation (generation adjacent to my generation), then of the third generation (generation adjacent to the second generation). (Using translation from Muslim 2536)
سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ الْقَرْنُ الَّذِي أَنَا فِيهِ ثُمَّ الثَّانِي ثُمَّ الثَّالِثُ
[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The best of people are my generation, then those who follow them, then those who come after them are the most inferior."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «خَيْرُ النَّاسِ قَرْنِي ثُمَّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ ثُمَّ الْآخَرُونَ أَرْذَلُ»
[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The best people are my generation, then the one that follows them, then the one that follows them, and then there will come a people in whom there is no good."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «خَيْرُ النَّاسِ قَرْنِي ثُمَّ الثَّانِي ثُمَّ الثَّالِثُ ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ قَوْمٌ لَا خَيْرَ فِيهِمْ»
