حَدَّثَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُدْرِكٍ، عَنْ هِلاَلِ بْنِ يِسَافٍ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " خَيْرُ النَّاسِ قَرْنِي ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ قَوْمٌ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ يَتَسَمَّنُونَ وَيُحِبُّونَ السِّمَنَ يُعْطُونَ الشَّهَادَةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْأَلُوهَا " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُدْرِكٍ وَأَصْحَابُ الأَعْمَشِ إِنَّمَا رَوَوْا عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ هِلاَلِ بْنِ يِسَافٍ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ .

Wāṣil ibn ʿAbd al-Aʿlā narrated to us: Muḥammad ibn Fuḍayl narrated to us, from al-Aʿmash, from ʿAlī ibn Mudrik, from Hilāl ibn Yasāf, from ʿImrān ibn Ḥuṣayn, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'The best of people are my generation, then those who follow them, then those who follow them, then those who follow them'—three times. 'Then people will come after them who grow corpulent and love corpulence; they will offer their testimony before being asked for it.' Abū ʿĪsā said: 'This report is gharīb through al-Aʿmash from ʿAlī ibn Mudrik. Al-Aʿmash's companions transmitted it only from al-Aʿmash, from Hilāl ibn Yasāf, from ʿImrān ibn Ḥuṣayn.'
