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 ".
I heard `Imran bin Husain saying, "The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'The best people are those living in mygeneration, then those coming after them, and then those coming after (the second generation)."`Imran said "I do not know whether the Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned two or three generations after your presentgeneration. The Prophet (ﷺ) added, 'There will be some people after you, who will be dishonest and willnot be trustworthy and will give witness (evidences) without being asked to give witness, and willvow but will not fulfill their vows, and obesity will appear among them."
