Hadith #221
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جَمْرَةَ حَدَّثَنِي زَهْدَ
مُ بْنُ مُضَرِّبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْرُكُمْ قَرْنِي ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ لَا أَدْرِي مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةً ثُمَّ يَأْتِي أَوْ يَجِيءُ بَعْدَكُمْ قَوْمٌ يَنْذُرُونَ فَلَا يُوفُونَ وَيَخُونُونَ وَلَا يُؤْتَمَنُونَ وَيَشْهَدُونَ وَلَا يُسْتَشْهَدُونَ وَيَفْشُو فِيهِمْ السِّمَنُ

English Translation
Yahyā ibn Sa‘īd narrated to us, from Shu‘bah: Abū Jamrah narrated to me: Zahdam ibn Mudarrib narrated to me. He said: I heard ‘Imrān ibn Husayn say: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: The best of you are my generation, then those who follow them, then those who follow them. I do not know whether he said it two or three times. Then after you shall come — or there shall come — people who make vows and do not fulfill them, who betray and are not trusted, who testify without being asked, and obesity shall spread among them.
