Sahih al-Bukhari 3651

Muhammad ibn Kathir narrated to us: Sufyan informed us, from Mansur, from Ibrahim, from ʿAbida, from ʿAbdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet ﷺ said, “The best of people are my generation, then those who follow them, then those who follow them. Then people will come whose testimony precedes their oath, and whose oath precedes their testimony.” Ibrahim said: They used to discipline us for giving testimony and making pledges when we were still children.
