In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
The Best Generation Is the Generation of the Messenger (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Then Those Who Came Next, Then Those Who Came Next, and Thereafter Corruption Will Spread
'Imraan ibn Husain (radi allahu 'anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said,"The best of my nation are those of this generation, then those that followed them." 'Imraan (radi allahu 'anhu) said, "I do not know whether he mentioned two generations after his generation or three." The Hadeeth continues, "Then there will come after you a people who will give their testimony without being asked (scholars have said that this is referring to a person who gives testimony without being asked to give it on behalf of another who has knowledge of the fact that he is a witness; other scholars say that this is referring to one who puts himself forward as a witness but is not worthy of giving testimony), who will be treacherous and cannot be trusted, and who will make a binding oath (Nadhr) to do something but then will not honor that oath; and fatness will become prevalent among them." (Bukhaaree and Muslim, and this wording is that of Bukhaaree)
