Sunan an-Nasa'i 3809

Muhammad ibn ʿAbd al-Aʿla reported to us; he said: Khalid narrated to us; he said: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from Abu Jamrah, from Zahdam, who said: I heard ʿImran ibn Husayn mention that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ‘The best of you are my generation, then those who come after them, then those who come after them, then those who come after them.’ I do not know whether he said this twice after the first or three times. Then he mentioned people who betray and are not trusted, who give testimony without being asked to do so, who make vows but do not fulfill them, and among whom obesity becomes widespread. Abu ʿAbd al-Rahman said: ‘This is Nasr ibn ʿImran, Abu Jamrah.’
