Sahih al-Bukhari 2651
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَمْرَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ زَهْدَمَ بْنَ مُضَرِّبٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " خَيْرُكُمْ قَرْنِي، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ". قَالَ عِمْرَانُ لاَ أَدْرِي أَذَكَرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعْدُ قَرْنَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثَةً. قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ بَعْدَكُمْ قَوْمًا يَخُونُونَ وَلاَ يُؤْتَمَنُونَ، وَيَشْهَدُونَ، وَلاَ يُسْتَشْهَدُونَ وَيَنْذِرُونَ وَلاَ يَفُونَ، وَيَظْهَرُ فِيهِمُ السِّمَنُ ".
Adam narrated to us: Shuʿba narrated to us: Abu Jamra narrated to us, saying: I heard Zahdam ibn Mudarrib say: I heard ʿImran ibn Husayn, may Allah be pleased with them both, say: The Prophet ﷺ said: “The best of you are my generation, then those who follow them, then those who follow them.” ʿImran said: I do not know whether the Prophet ﷺ then mentioned two generations or three. The Prophet ﷺ said: “After you will come people who betray and are not trusted, who testify without being asked to testify, who make vows but do not fulfill them, and among whom corpulence will appear.”
