Hadith text
Narrated Zahdam bin Mudarrib:I heard `Imran bin Husain saying, "The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'The best people are those living in my generation, 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 present generation. The Prophet (ﷺ) added, 'There will be some people after you, who will be dishonest and will not be trustworthy and will give witness (evidences) without being asked to give witness, and will vow but will not fulfill their vows, and obesity will appear among them
Zahdam bin Mudarrib bataate hain: Maine Imran bin Husain ko kehte suna: "Nabi ne kaha: 'Sabse behtareen log mere zamane ke hain, phir woh jo unke baad aayenge, phir woh jo unke baad aayenge (teesri nasl).'" Imran ne kaha: "Mujhe nahi pata Nabi ne apni zaboon ke baad do ya teen naslon ka zikar kiya. Nabi ne joda: 'Tumhare baad kuch log aayenge jo be-imaan honge aur bharosemand nahi honge, aur bina poochhe gawahi denge, aur mannat maanenge magar apni mannaten poori nahi karenge, aur unme motaapa aam ho jaayega.'"
