the best of my people is the generation in which I have been sent, then their immediate followers, then their immediate followers. Allah knows best whether he mentioned the third or not. After them will be people who will give testimony without being asked, who will make vows which they do not fulfill, who will be treacherous and not to be trusted, among whom fatness will appear.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَيْرُ أُمَّتِي الْقَرْنُ الَّذِينَ بُعِثْتُ فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ أَذَكَرَ الثَّالِثَ أَمْ لاَ ثُمَّ يَظْهَرُ قَوْمٌ يَشْهَدُونَ وَلاَ يُسْتَشْهَدُونَ وَيَنْذِرُونَ وَلاَ يُوفُونَ وَيَخُونُونَ وَلاَ يُؤْتَمَنُونَ وَيَفْشُو فِيهِمُ السِّمَنُ  

"The best of my Ummah is the generation among whom I was sent, then those who follow them." He(ʿImran) said: I do not know if he mentioned the third or not. "Then there shall appear people who testify while their testimony was not sought, who are treacherous, not trusted, and fatness shall spread among them."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَيْرُ أُمَّتِي الْقَرْنُ الَّذِي بُعِثْتُ فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ قَالَ وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ ذَكَرَ الثَّالِثَ أَمْ لاَ ثُمَّ يَنْشَأُ أَقْوَامٌ يَشْهَدُونَ وَلاَ يُسْتَشْهَدُونَ وَيَخُونُونَ وَلاَ يُؤْتَمَنُونَ وَيَفْشُو فِيهِمُ السِّمَنُ  

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. (Using translation from Muslim 2534a)   

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 Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The best of this Ummah are those who were sent in it, followed by those who come after them, then those who come after them, then those who come after those who come after them. He said: They are good. Then there will be people whose oaths will be taken before their testimony, and their testimony will be taken before their oaths."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ خَيْرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ الْقَرْنُ الَّذِينَ بُعِثْتُ فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ قَالَ حَسَنٌ ثُمَّ يَنْشَأُ أَقْوَامٌ تَسْبِقُ أَيْمَانُهُمْ شَهَادَتَهُمْ وَشَهَادَتُهُمْ أَيْمَانَهُمْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The best of this ummah is the century in which I was sent, then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then, there will be a people who will give warnings but will not fulfill them, they will deceive and will not be trustworthy, they will bear witness but will not be believed, and they will spread corruption among themselves."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ خَيْرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ الْقَرْنُ الَّذِي بُعِثْتُ فِيهِمْ قَالَ عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ الَّذِينَ بُعِثْتُ فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَنْشَأُ قَوْمٌ يَنْذُرُونَ وَلَا يُوفُونَ وَيَخُونُونَ وَلَا يُتَّمَنُونَ وَيَشْهَدُونَ وَلَا يُسْتَشْهَدُونَ وَيَفْشُو فِيهِمُ السِّمَنُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The best of you is my generation, then those who follow them, and then those who follow them. I do not know if it is two times or three times, then there will come a people after you who will make promises but not fulfill them, who will lie and not be true, who will bear witness but not be trusted, and who will spread corruption among them."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرُكُمْ قَرْنِي ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ لَا أَدْرِي مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةً ثُمَّ يَأْتِي أَوْ يَجِيءُ بَعْدَكُمْ قَوْمٌ يَنْذُرُونَ فَلَا يُوفُونَ وَيَخُونُونَ وَلَا يُتَّمَنُونَ وَيَشْهَدُونَ وَلَا يُسْتَشْهَدُونَ وَيَفْشُو فِيهِمُ السِّمَنُ  

the best of my people is the generation in which I have been sent, then their immediate followers, then their immediate followers. Allah knows best whether he mentioned the third or not. After them will be people who will give testimony without being asked, who will make vows which they do not fulfill, who will be treacherous and not to be trusted, among whom fatness will appear. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4657)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرُ أُمَّتِي الْقَرْنُ الَّذِي بُعِثْتُ فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ قَالَ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ أَذَكَرَ الثَّالِثَ أَمْ لَا؟ ثُمَّ يَنْشَأُ قَوْمٌ يَشْهَدُونَ وَلَا يُسْتَشْهَدُونَ وَيَنْذُرُونَ وَلَا يُوفُونَ وَيَخُونُونَ وَلَا يُتَّمَنُونَ وَيَفْشُو فِيهِمُ السِّمَنُ

(Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4657)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «خَيْرُ أُمَّتِي الْقَرْنُ الَّذِي بُعِثْتُ فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ» ثُمَّ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ أَذَكَرَ الثَّالِثَ أَمْ لَا «ثُمَّ يَنْشَأُ قَوْمٌ يَشْهَدُونَ وَلَا يُسْتَشْهَدُونَ وَيَنْذِرُونَ وَلَا يُوفُونَ وَيَخُونُونَ وَلَا يُؤْتَمَنُونَ وَيَفْشُو فِيهِمُ السِّمَنُ»  

"خَيْرُ أُمَّتى القرن الذى بُعِثْتُ فِيهم، ثم الذين يلُونَهُم، ثم الذين يلُونَهُم، ثمَ يخْلُفُ قَوْمٌ يُحِبُّون السَّمانَةَ يشْهدُونَ قبل أَن يُسْتَشهَدُوا".  

"خَيْرُ هَذه الأُمَةِ الْقَرْنُ الَّذِينَ بُعِثْتُ فِيهم، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يلُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ يفْشُو أَقْوامٌ ينْدرونَ ولَا يُوفُونَ، ويحْلِفُونَ وَلَا يُسْتحْلَفُونَ، وَيَفْشُو فِيهِمُ السِّمنُ".  

"خَيْرُكم قرنى، ثم الذين يلونهم، ثم الذين يلونهم، ثم يكون بعدهم قوم يخونون ولا يُؤتمنون، ويشهدون ولا يُسْتَشْهَدُونَ، ويَنذِرون ولا يَفُون، ويظهر فيهم السِّمَنُ".
